The Crusader White Shirts was founded by George W. Christians in Chattanooga, Tennessee in the early 1930s with 10,000 members as of 1934.[1] His "Minister of Economics" was Walter M. Higgins. The group also had a sizeable membership in the Northwestern United States.[2] He completed his alliance with the "Germanic Alliance".[3] In 1936, Christians founded the "Crusaders for Economic Liberty" in Chicago with the American patriot and anti-Semite Lois de Lafayette Washburn.

Pfaus had stated that his organization was active in almost every country in the world and that its membership was sufficiently large in those countries to which Germans have emigrated to have considerable political influence.
