The far-right loves references to the history of the 300 spartans led by Leonidas who resisted 3 days against the persians at the Thermopylae.
Hitler tried to convince Paulus not to surrender in Stalingrad so that the german 6th army could be compared to the 300 of Sparta. At the end of the war, there was the Leonidas Squadron, the group of german kamikazes.
Nowadays, many far-right groups make references to the 300 of Sparta.

Does the far-right like the society and the institutions of the city of Sparta? Does the far-right use the persians as an analogy to the enemies coming from the east?
