The #ATB (#AryanTerrorBrigade) is a racist Skinhead group founded in 2009, with members in the United States, South America, and Europe, although it remains relatively small.
Although it is a relatively old group that is no longer active, some of its symbols may remain in circulation as tattoos, graffiti, and in various forms and adaptations. Much of the group's activity takes place online, although members have occasionally participated in real-world activities, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic states.
The group's logo appears as an outline incorporating elements of #WaffenSS insignia, together with a male head and a weapon, a wreath, and the initials #ATB within the outline. Another version of the shield features black, white, and red stripes, the colors of the Nazi flag. Because the Aryan Terror Brigade claims an affiliation with #Combat18, the British White Supremacist group, it also uses symbols associated with that group, including references to C-18 and numerical variations such as 318 and 8318.
Many of the group's key members were arrested in Pennsylvania and New Jersey in 2017 on charges related to drug use and trafficking and weapons possession, severely weakening the gang, at least in the United States. As a result, only remnants of the group appear to remain, rather than large active cells.
