{{Use British English|date=November 2015}}'''Column 88''' was a [[Neo-Nazism|neo-Nazi]] [[paramilitary]] organisation based in the [[United Kingdom]]. It was formed in the early 1970s, and disbanded in the early 1980s. The members of Column 88 undertook military training under the supervision of a former [[Royal Marine]] Commando, and also held regular gatherings attended by neo-Nazis from all over Europe. The name is code: the eighth letter of the alphabet 'HH' represents the Nazi greeting '[[Hitler salute|Heil Hitler]]'. Journalist [[Martin Walker (reporter)|Martin Walker]] described Column 88 as a "shadow [[paramilitary]] Nazi group".<ref>Martin Walker, ''The National Front'', Fontana, 1977, {{ISBN|0-00-634824-6}}, p. 186</ref>
