Fake Nazi biker gang sting takes down real-life white supremacists
The 1st SS Kavallerie Brigade Motorcyle Division was never what it seemed. Instead of an outlaw biker gang, the club was created by law enforcers to track down potential thugs and terrorists.

The 1st SS Kavallerie Brigade Motorcycle Division was founded in 2007 to recruit neo-Nazi bikers for the Aryan Nations, a white supremacist terrorist organization.

One member offered a $1,000 reward for the shooting of a black man. Others stockpiled explosives to be used in terror attacks on U.S. targets.

But the biker gang was founded by undercover law enforcement agents in Florida, and eventually 20 people were arrested for a range of offenses, from dealing drugs to possessing illegal weapons and plotting murders, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Orange-Osceola State Attorney Lawson Lamar described it as the most complex undercover sting operation the region had seen in decades.

"The underlying aspect through all of it was that they were obtaining explosives and explosives expertise, and they intended to use them to kill people in the United States," he said. "We have a duty to stop what they were doing."

The Kavallerie Brigade clubhouse was packed with surveillance cameras and microphones monitored by the FBI.

Some agents were so deep undercover that they met with heads of other outlaw biker gangs to discuss opening new Kavallerie Brigade chapters in other cities.

Others infiltrated the American Front, another white power organization, and engaged in paramilitary combat training on a compound where members used the shallow grave where a black murder victim had been buried as a urinal.

In all, 14 American Front members and six people connected to the Kavallerie Brigade were busted, according to the Sentinel.
