A Blast from the Past: The ‘United Nordic Confederation’ of New York

Sometime ago I stumbled upon a solitary reference to one of the many unsung nationalist resistance groups to what was already beginning happen in the United States, Europe and Oceania in the 1950s; with the ‘Jewish Telegraph Agency’ (now better known as JTA) syndicating the following article about a large anti-jewish nationalist group operating out of a high school in New York on 20th January 1958 and which was reproduced in at least two newspapers (the ‘Arizona Post’ and the ‘Southern Israelite’) that I can find:

‘Seven youths, members of a group which organized itself under the name “United Nordic Confederation” for the purpose of emulating Hitlers racial theories–and whose leader preached the deportation of all American Jews to Israel and all Negroes to Africa–were in jail here today unable to raise bail and facing heavy prison sentences on a variety of charges. They were arrested after it was established that they planned to rob a New York bank to raise a $40,000 treasury.

Police were hunting today for “hundreds” of other alleged members of the two-month old organization formed to “unite and purify all the Nordic peoples of the race.” George Leggett, 21-year-old leader of the gang, boasted that there were more members at large and that they would carry on. Leggett Used the Prussian alias of George von Lictor in the organization which he commanded.

When police rounded up the nine gang members during the week-end they also picked up an arsenal of three 32 caliber rifles and 18 knifes, bayonets and daggers, including one official Nazi dagger with a swastika on the hilt. They also found a detailed map of the Kew Gardens branch of the Chase National Bank which the gang was planning to hold up. The money was to be used to open a Nazi-like camp “upstate somewhere.”

By the time the seven older members of the United Nordic Confederation were arraigned yesterday, they were facing a variety of charges including violation of the Sullivan Law for possession of the weapons, burglary charges for breaking into an apartment which they used as a headquarters, felonious assault of several members who broke away from the gang and conspiracy to rob the bank. In the absence of $2,000 to $9,000 in bail, the seven were sent to jail. Two 15-year-olds will be arraigned in Children’s Court tomorrow. Most of the gang members were students at Forest Hills School in Queens, N.Y.’ (1)

Now there are no further references that I can find to the ‘United Nordic Confederation’ nor to George Leggett (or his nom-de-guerre ‘George von Lictor’) that I can find, but it is interesting that even in the late 1950s there were many young White men and women who could see what was coming and fought it fanatically even at the cost of sacrificing their future lives as was presumably the case of Leggett and the members of the ‘United Nordic Confederation’ who were tried and imprisoned by the state for daring to oppose its genocidal agenda.
