88
i'm assuming that 1988 was the year before Germany reunification.
share8 stands for the 8th letter in the alphabet, which is "H". Therefore: 88 equals Heil Hitler.
shareThat was in 1989, and florens-ewich is right.

Where was the 88 reference? Sorry, I haven't seen the movie yet, but it's on it's way to my mailbox now, can't wait!
Anyways, 88 can stand for Heil Hitler or it could be referring to the 88 precepts (to being a skinhead), written by a man named David Lane while he was serving a double life-sentence in prison.
Two 8s together also look like two stylized letter Ss, SS standing for schutzstaffel, Hitler's "secret service" army.
sharejust to clarify on the history: Re-unification was in 1990. 1989 is the year when the Wall tumbled. But Germany wasn't reunited until one year after that!
