American Nazi Party

Rare card · No. 40566

The American Nazi Party (ANP) is an American neo-Nazi organization founded by George Lincoln Rockwell in 1959. In Rockwell's time, it was headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. It was renamed the National Socialist White People's Party (NSWPP) in 1967. Rockwell was assassinated by former ANP member John Patler later that year. Following Rockwell's assassination, the organization appointed his second in command, Deputy Commander Matt Koehl, as the new leader. The NSWPP, while under Koehl's command, was subject to ideological disagreements between members in the 1970s and 1980s, leading to several members being kicked out and forming their own groups. Koehl renamed the NSWPP the New Order in 1983, which came with a shift in the organization towards esoteric neo-Nazism. After Koehl's death in 2014, a long-time member and officer of the New Order, Martin Kerr, assumed leadership.
