The German-American Bund operated as a Nazi-sympathetic organization across the United States from 1938-1941, with leaders like Walter Kappe and Gerhard Wilhelm Kunze organizing rallies, propaganda, and indoctrination camps for children that spread anti-Semitic ideology. Jewish mobster Meyer Lansky was enlisted by Judge Nathan David Perlman in the late 1930s to physically confront Nazi members without killing them, as authorities proved unable or unwilling to address the growing fascist threat in America.
