New Order (National Socialist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Order (National Socialist) is the neo-Nazi organization led by Matt Koehl, who took over the the organization until recently known as the American Nazi Party, newly renamed the "National Socialist White People's Party," upon the assassination of George Lincoln Rockwell in 1967. The name "New Order" was adopted in 1983, and reflects Koehl's esoteric Hitlerism: a belief in Adolf Hitler as a god-like being sent to rescue humanity - and specifically the European peoples - from the Jews. It now describes itself on its website as a "National Socialist religious community." Those of the NSWPP who disagreed with Koehl mostly left in 1970, those following Frank Collin forming the National Socialist Party of America in 1970 and those following Dr. William L. Pierce eventually forming the National Alliance in 1974. The esoteric leanings of this group also led to a split with the World Union of National Socialists which Rockwell had founded and whose leader (Danish neo-Nazi Povl Riis-Knudsen) Koehl had once appointed.
