American Nazi Party

The American Nazi Party was an American Neo-Nazi political party formed in February 1959 by George Lincoln Rockwell.

The organization was based largely upon the ideals and policies of the NSDAP in Germany during the Third Reich. Following the assassination of Rockwell in 1967 by a disgruntled party member the group was taken over by Matt Koehl who renamed it the National Socialist White People's Party. In 1970, NSWPP member Frank Collin broke away from the group and founded the National Socialist Party of America which became famous due to its attempt to march through the largely Jewish community of Skokie, Illinois. Collin was convicted and sent to prison in 1979 on charges of child molestation.

Revived ANP

More recently a new American Nazi Party has been launched and is largely regarded as extremist, even for a fascist organisation. The new group claims to be the inheritor of Rockwell's legacy and is led by Rocky Suhayda. It was formerly known as the European American Education Association and is based in Eastpointe, Michigan. They use the so-called Fourteen Words as their motto: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children."
