You think it ended with World War II?
You think Nazis lost and disappeared?

Wrong.

They went underground. They rebranded.
They never surrendered—they adapted.

1. Pre-War America: Nazi Roots on U.S. Soil

The Nazi game in the U.S. started early.

In the 1920s, the Free Society of Teutonia popped up in Chicago—openly pro-Nazi American Nazis disguised as a beer society.

By the 1930s, the Friends of New Germany and the German American Bund formed under Fritz Kuhn. These aren’t fringe podcasts. They held rallies, youth camps, even had chapters in Madison Square Garden.

Twenty thousand people cheered at their rallies. Not in Germany. In New York City.
They practiced unwavering loyalty to Hitler. They taught kids. They shook hands with hate—and dressed American.

Then America entered the war. The Bund was outlawed. The rallies ended. But the ideology didn’t go into the grave.

2. Post-War Resurfacing: Rockwell’s American Nazi Party

Then came George Lincoln Rockwell, post-war Marine turned Nazi founder.

In 1959, he launched the American Nazi Party. He dressed like they did. He talked like they did.
He turned horror into marketing. He called himself a leader.
He tied swastikas to suburbs, tried running for office, and demanded attention—and he got it.

Rockwell didn’t just preach hate. He tried to normalize it.

He died in 1967—assassinated by a follower. But the idea survived.

3. Splinter, Evolve, Persist

After Rockwell, the party fumbled under Matt Koehl and then Martin Kerr. They rebranded, became the New Order—even dressed ecstasy as mysticism.

Splinter groups broke off. The National Alliance, the NSLF, racial cults, hate undergrounds.

They went dark, but they didn’t vanish.

4. Today: Ideology by Proxy

Neo-Nazi themes pop up wrapped in patriotism or “heritage.”
They don’t carry flags. They carry slogans.

They’re online. They’re offline. They mingle at rallies. At memes. At protests.
They’re trolling your democracy. Warping your history. Waiting for the moment democracy blinks.

TL;DR

• American Nazism has roots in the 1920s—not just shock.
• The Bund and Teutonia organized openly before war.
• Rockwell rebooted the movement in the 1960s.
• Successors morphed into splinter cell and occult factions.
• Today’s white supremacists borrow from the same playbook—adapted for digital and denial.

So What Now?

Know their names. Kingston the rise.
Track how identical hate reloads itself.

Don’t let them kneel in your shadow.

And when they surface again? Be ready.

They look like you—but they aren’t you.

We’ve seen this script before.
We survive by flipping the page.
