The Rise and Fall of Nazism in the United States: The Story of George Lincoln Rockwell

Nazism in the United States traces its roots back to the 1930s, embodied by the German American Bund, which rallied support for a pro-Nazi agenda highlighting isolationism and anti-Semitism. This organization gained traction, drawing tens of thousands of followers under the leadership of Fritz Kuhn. A World War I veteran who had immigrated to the U.S., Kuhn's group was marked by their virulent racism and anti-immigrant sentiments, which faded after Kuhn's imprisonment for tax evasion. However, the American Nazi movement found new life after World War II through the efforts of George Lincoln Rockwell, a WWII veteran whose radical views would define a new era of American Nazism.
