Majority of Germany knows that there is nothing furtive about the hard-Right party's embrace of remigration, the idea of deporting foreigners en masse that is sweeping across Europe's populist Right.
At this weekend's AfD party conference in the east German city of Erfurt, the controversial policy is the sexiest thing in the room.
"You know you want it!" teased a campaign sticker on sale inside the conference venue, while another bearing a scantily clad woman read: "Will kiss for remigration."
A third sticker featured a handsome, blond-haired man with bulging muscles, declaring: "YOU will be deported!"
The stickers, €5 per batch, endorsed the AfD's flagship remigration policy, under which millions would be deported from Germany if the party took power.
Foreigners who committed crimes, supported terror groups, refused to integrate into German society or had no legal right to remain would be forced onto planes and sent to their country of origin.
At the same time, the AfD says, Germans who had emigrated to escape high taxes and weak borders would be given incentives to return.
To its opponents, remigration sounds alarmingly similar to ethnic cleansing, and the concept is often associated in Britain with Martin Sellner, the Austrian neo-Nazi.
But at the conference last 4 July, a softer and more palatable version of remigration was being hotly debated – in no small part because of the frisky promotional stickers by the entrance.
"Some people say this is a concept of sending away people we don't like, but that's not it at all," Wendelin Fessl, a spokesman for the AfD's Generation Deutschland youth wing, told The Telegraph inside the conference venue.
Under an AfD government, he said, Germany would target foreigners who were already legally required to leave the country, such as rejected asylum seekers and criminals.
Foreigners who absolutely refused to adopt what were considered German cultural norms, such as equality between men and women, would also be required to leave.
"It is absolutely not about sending away German citizens who have Turkish parents, or about bashing Islam," he said. "It is about sending away those who do not want to assimilate into German society... It is about culture, not religion."
"We have a lot of people here in Germany who are in a grey zone where they are allowed to stay even if they have a criminal record," he added, alluding to cases where Germany had failed to deport rejected asylum seekers, on human rights grounds.
Since it was founded in 2013, the AfD has evolved from a Eurosceptic party into a full-scale populist uprising against mass migration, green energy policies and so-called wokeism.
According to the latest polls, the AfD would easily take first place in a general election, with nearly 30 per cent of the vote, far before the Christian Democrats (CDU) of Friedrich Merz, the chancellor.
In September's state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, the AfD is expected to win an unprecedented 40 per cent of the vote and may even be able to form its own regional government.
For years, Germany's other parties have refused to form coalitions with the AfD on the grounds that it is too extreme, in what is known as the Brandmauer [firewall] policy.
But with the party now the de facto opposition in the German parliament, and consistently leading the national polls, some are wondering whether that boycott can really last.
