- American Nazis - The German American Bund. This video is about the history of the German American Bund headed by Fritz Kuhn, an American Nazi Party which spread across the US. The Bund was infamous for its giant rally held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Feb. 20, 1939 on George Washington's birthday.

During the 1920s and 1930s and with the rise of Hitler, copycat fascist organizations grew up in Europe in Austria and other places. Homegrown ultranationalist groups also developed like the British Union of Fascists (BUF) in Britain under Sir Oswald Mosely.

Dr. Mark Felton is a well-known British historian, the author of 22 non-fiction books, including bestsellers 'Zero Night' and 'Castle of the Eagles.' Mark also appears regularly in television documentaries around the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Fe...

1. Thanks for this important bit of history. Which we may be doomed to repeat, repeat, repeat, ...

There will always be charlatans and gullibles. Too bad they can cause such mayhem.

2. And blaming, scapegoating 'others'

has always been a tool used on the ignorant and suspicious by authoritarians, fascists and cons to divide people and build hate.

The same old treachery and tragic story; this tactic was also utilized to prevent and crush unionization in the workplace.
