The number 318 is a White Supremacist numerical symbol. The number 3 in the symbol is a numerical substitution for the letter C, thus creating the symbol C18 or C-18.
This, in turn, is a code for the British White Supremacist group #Combat18, which has also had a presence in the United States at various times. As previously discussed, 18 is a numerical substitution representing Adolf Hitler. In the United States, 318 is commonly associated with the #AryanTerrorBrigade, a racist Skinhead group that claims an affiliation with #Combat18. A variation of this symbol is 8318, meaning “Hail Combat 18.”
«Combat 18 Hellas»
In Greece, there has been a branch of the British White Supremacist group known as “Combat 18 Hellas.” It is a neo-Nazi organization whose name is derived from Adolf Hitler, as the number 18, as previously discussed, corresponds to the first and eighth letters of the English alphabet, “A” and “H,” representing Adolf Hitler. Its symbol also includes a skull resembling the SS Totenkopf.
“Combat 18 Hellas” is reportedly modeled after the British neo-Nazi organization “Combat 18,” which was particularly active in the United Kingdom during the 1990s and beyond, targeting immigrants, left-wing activists, and minorities. In Greece, the group has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks, many of which were not only illegal but also particularly violent. In several of its activities, it reportedly collaborated with the Unaligned Meander Nationalists. According to Efimerida ton Syntakton, the group was a branch of Combat 18. The organization has also praised former Golden Dawn member “Periandros” (Antonios Androutsopoulos), who was convicted for the attempted murder of Dimitris Kousouris. In an interview with Eleftheros Typos, the Meander Nationalists described Combat 18 as more than a sister organization, calling it “blood of our blood.”
