Ashley Podsiad-Sharp set up a far-right fitness club, Sheffield Crown Court hears.
Mr Podsiad-Sharp, a married father-of-two who now works as a lorry driver, "idolises" Hitler, believes in "the supremacy of the white man" and had trained "like a soldier" for a race war.
When asked by his barrister Peter Eguae if he had set up the club "to train up a group of individuals intent on violence," the defendant denied having "any violent intent". Mr Podsiad-Sharp, who vetted members based on their political views, insisted the club was not involved in political activism. But he claimed it was "insulting" to suggest sharing the "comedic parody" songs was disseminating terrorist material.
