Ross, this blockage refers to Nazi sites hosted in the US (or, at least outside Germany). Publishing certain Nazi material, especially demagogic racism, denial of the existence of the Holocaust, calling for violence against Jews or other religions or against foreigners, etc., is illegal in Germany. Sites which are getting blocked must be really "hardcore" Nazi sites not just "right-wing", however, I don't know any domains. Please note, that your subject is wrong. The German state of North Rhine-Westphalia challenged the internet providers in its state to block those sites because they are considered illegal. Otherwise they would have gone to court. Some providers have accepted this without a court order and used available means to achieve the blockage, f.i. by manually changing the dns resolution for the blocked IPs. No "German State Alters DNS To Censor Web Sites".
