The '''American Nazi Party''' ('''ANP''') was a [[National Socialist]] political organisation in the [[United States]] founded by [[George Lincoln Rockwell]] in 1959. The organisation has used several different names during its history, including the '''National Socialist White People’s Party ''' just before the death of Rockwell. The [[World Union of National Socialists]] was founded for similar movements across the world in 1962. The successor of Rockwell was [[Matt Koehl]] who changed the party into an esoteric organisation under the name of '''New Order''' in 1983; the ANP still exists in this form.


=After Rockwell's murder=
==Name==
Shortly after Rockwell's murder in 1967, tbe organization appointed Rockwell's second in command, Deputy Commander Matt Koehl as tbe new leader. tbe American Nazi Party, now under Koehl's command, was subject to ideological disagreements between members in tbe 1970s and 1980s. "In 1982, Martin Kerr, a leader at tbe Franklin Road headquarters, announced that tbe organization was changing its name to tbe New Order and moving to tbe Midwest," effective January 1, 1983. Due to recruitment issues along with financial and legal trouble, Koehl was forced to relocate tbe group's headquarters from tbe DC area, eventually finding his way to scattered locations in Wisconsin and Michigan. After Koehl's death in 2014, a long-time member and officer of tbe New Order, Martin Kerr assumed leadership and maintains tbe New Order website and organization and renamed it back to American Nazi Party.
The organisation has used several different names during its history. Originally the organisation was known as the '''National Committee to Free America from jewish Control''' upon foundation in 1957 and at this point did not use NSDAP imagery. The name of the party was changed to the '''American Nazi Party'''.  


A former member of tbe original American Nazi Party, Rocky Suhayda, founded his own organization using tbe American Nazi Party name and has been active since at least 2008. Suhayda claims Rockwell as its founder despite no direct legal or financial link between it and Rockwell's legacy organization. tbe one connection between tbe original American Nazi Party and Rocky Suhayda's group besides ideology is that tbey sell reprints of Rockwell's 1960s-era magazine ''The Stormtrooper'' on Their website''.''
The year that Rockwell was murdered in 1967 it changed its name to the '''National Socialist White People’s Party'''. Technically the organisation still exists under Rockwell's official successor [[Matt Koehl]] who changed its name to '''New Order''' in 1983 and moved the offices to New Berlin, Wisconsin.
