Looking back at the SS Dirlewanger Division

The Dirlewanger Division, or the 36th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, was a Nazi division notorious for committing massacres, rape and looting across Europe. Initially made up of ex-convicts, the division eventually opened up to foreign volunteers.

Some of the atrocities commitied by Dirlewanger include:

The American Nazi Party

The American Nazi Party (ANP) was founded by George Lincoln Rockwell in 1959. Originally called the World Union of Free Enterprise National Socialists (WUFENS), The ANP used a heavy racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric to achieve its main goal of reviving Nazism in the United States. In post-WWII United States, they were the first party to openly use swastikas and other Nazi imagery, as well as openly defend Adolf Hitler’s regime of terror and deny the Holocaust. Rockwell, as leader of the party, was called the “American Fuehrer”.
