The First American Nazis - Detroit, Michigan

In 1924, Mussolini sent Count Ignazio Theon de Ravel to the United States to organize several disparate and quarrelsome groups of italo fascists into the fascist League of North America. This is the first American fascist organization. These guys primarily positioned themselves as against atheism, internationalism, free love, communism, and class hatred. It was also the year Hitler spent in prison, putting the finishing touches on mine camp. And it was the year that the National Socialist Tootonia Association was founded in Detroit,.
