Imperative: Gerhard Lauck

[S.1:S.5]

Ardito is joined by Gerhard Lauck, the leader of the NSDAP/AO in Nebraska. Here is a short biography of Gerhard Lauck.

Gerhard “the Farm-belt Fuehrer” Lauck was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1953. In 1964, the German-American family moved to Lincoln, Nebraska, where his father became a professor of engineering at the University of Nebraska.

In high school, Lauck was an honor roll student who declined a West Point nomination and graduated a year early. During the next two years he attended the University of Nebraska and majored in German. During this period he became active in both German-American ethnic and National Socialist political organizations. His submission to the youth essay contest sponsored by the prestigious Nation Europa magazine in Germany was published as a semi-finalist. Furthermore, his philosophical booklet Blood and Soil was complemented by the former Deputy Press Chief of the Third Reich Helmut Sündermann.

Lauck founded the NSDAP/AO in 1972. Its purpose was to supply the National Socialist underground movement in Germany with National Socialist propaganda material. Soon the NSDAP/AO was flooding Germany with millions of swastika stickers and gaining the recognition of friend and foe alike. At its peak in the early 1990’s the NSDAP/AO was publishing openly National Socialist tabloid newspapers in ten language editions and sponsoring an openly National Socialist public access television program.

In 1995, Lauck was arrested in Denmark, fought extradition all the way to the Danish Supreme Court, lost, and was flown in a private jet to Hamburg. In 1996, he was convicted for publishing six issues of the NS KAMPFRUF inside the USA. Germany claimed jurisdiction on the basis it is distributed inside Germany. He was sentenced to four years imprisonment, which was a record at that time, and served his entire sentence.

After his return to the United States in 1999 his emphasis shifted to web-hosting and book publishing. He personally translated and published over 200 original Third Reich books, which he sells online at third-reich-books.com and he’s the CEO of http://zensurfrei.com/, a “web hosting provider for those denied access to mainstream hosting due to ‘offensive’ content.” Find more info about the NSDAP/AO at nsdapao.info.
