George Lincoln Rockwell was born to vaudeville actors and comedian parents, though the couple did not live together long. George was primarily raised by his father in Maine, and after a failed attempt to get into Harvard University, followed by a successful admission to Brown University, he found his actual place in the US Navy.

George was married and had children but had another love that he was more passionate about: Hitler. Quickly, George became fascinated with Hitler’s writings and eventually he helped found and then lead the American Nazi Party.

George eventually went on to be one of the most active white nationalist in the country and actively tried to stir up as much trouble as possible. Until his right-hand-man had a difference of opinion in their operations, and George had to cut loose one of his most devoted members.

John Patler, the guy who was cut loose, didn’t take things terribly well and decided to pay George back in a very unforgiving way.
