The numbers 14 and 88, when used together, sometimes serve as a neo-nazi dog whistle

The first number, 14, is a reference to the 14 word phrase of “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”

The second number, 88, is meant to be code for “Heil Hitler” as the letter H is the 8th letter of the alphabet and leads both words. If I remember correctly, that phrase was also a very common key used for encoding with the Enigma Machine by the Germans during ww2, but again, not sure on that second part.

If there’s more to it, the auths will be more helpful in answering.

It was a generally heavily used phrase during the Nazi regime in Germany. It was basically used as an official greeting, accompanied by the Nazi Salute - in fact, the original terms for the gesture the rest of the world knows as the Nazi Salute are "Deutscher Gruß" or "Hitlergruß" - which literally translates to "German greeting" or "Hitler greeting".

The Nazis were hardcore about indoctrinating their populace. Children would have to swear allegiance to the Führer personally every morning before classes would start. They had a standardized and affordable radio developed and mass produced so every German could hear the Führer and his top ministers speak. And they established the Hitlergruß as a standard greeting phrase with the accompanying gesture to make the Führer's permanently present in their minds.

The number 88 has been a dog whistle / identifying number for Nazis and Neonazis literally since the war ended iirc. In fact, it - and some other numbers and letter combinations - are banned from certain places, like vehicle license plates. Of course, there's also a lot of edgelords using it for this reason.

The number 14 was never that prevalent in the German Neonazi scene, or at least not until quite recently, since the phrase it's referring to doesn't work in German - it would need more words to adequately translate.

Fun fact: the letter combination HH is also banned from license plates - but only the "dynamic" part that you can choose yourself. It is, however, also the city code for Hamburg, so every car registered in Hamburg has HH as the first two letters of its license plate.
