Nazism in the United States arose alongside its rise in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s[1][dubious ] and Nazi sympathizers have continued to exist in the US after the end of World War II.[citation needed] However, it has also been contended that Nazism in Germany was inspired by America's racial policies.[2]
Pre-World War II
In 1938, Ford was awarded the Grand Cross of the German Eagle medal by Hitler.
In 1936, the German American Bund was established [3] but had ceased to operate during WW2 and its founder was deported to Germany after the war.[4] Another similar group (though not, like the America bund, inspired directly by the Germans) was the Silver Legion of America, much more of a paramilitary militia organisation, that fielded a presidential candidate in 1936; during WW2 it rapidly declined.
Post-World War II Neo-Nazism
Following the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, various organizations have expressed National Socialist sympathies, or have been described as Nazi or Neo-Nazi. Today it has been suggested that, once again, the USA is heading towards "its white nationalist roots", drawing comparisons between the rise of Nazism in America and some modern American political parties and leaders.[5]
In 1974, the National Socialist League (United States) was established as a Nazi party.[6] It was defunct by the 1980s.
The American Front was established as a white supremacist skinhead organisation that began as a loose organization modeled after the British National Front. Around 1987, the organisation was transformed into political one, with attempts made at a wider appeal. It is still in operation.
The National Alliance (United States) was established in 1974 from a split in the National Youth Alliance (itself an outgrowth of George Wallace's 1968 presidential campaign), as a result of infighting. In 2005, a further split led to the creation of the National Vanguard (American organization) from dissident members of the National Alliance. The National Alliance ceased to be a "membership" organisation in 2013. The National Vanguard was still active as of 2015.

This organization, more than any other, took advantage of the outflow of German emigrants in the 1920s to spread its ideology beyond the borders of Weimar Germany. Most specifically, it targeted Germans leaving for the United States".
