Politics

Within AfD Droese is referred as "ultra-nationalist".[2][3]

Although any proofs of that affirmation, Droese is believed to be a fan of Adolf Hitler. In 2016, it became known that one of his cars bore the Leipzig license plate "AH 1818". In the nazi symbolism, "AH" stands for Adolf Hitler as well as "18". With a swollen chest and right hand on his heart, Droese had himself photographed at "Hitlers Wolfsschanze" ("Wolf`s Lair"), the former Führer's headquarters in Poland.

Droese entered the than newly founded AfD and got at 2017 German federal election elected to Bundestag.
