Matt Koehl
From Metapedia
Matthias (Matt) Koehl Jr. (born January 22, 1935) is leader of a quasi-religious National Socialist group called New Order. He succeeded George Lincoln Rockwell as Commander of the National Socialist White People's Party (renamed the New Order in 1983). He was also previously the leader of the World Union of National Socialists.
Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin of Hungarian immigrants of German descent, Koehl studied journalism at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He joined James Madole's National Renaissance Party, the United White Party, and the National States Rights Party (1958, the NSRP's national organizer) before joining the American Nazi Party (ANP) in 1960. He became head of the Chicago branch of the ANP in 1961 and relocated to the national office in Virginia in 1963 as the National Secretary of the party with the rank of Major.
Koehl first met Rockwell thru the National States Rights Party. They both worked together on the political campaign of Admiral John Crommelin when he ran for governor of Alabama in 1958.
Like Miguel Serrano, he was heavily influenced by the writings of Savitri Devi and is an advocate of esoteric Hitlerism, believing Hitler to have been a god-like being sent to rescue humanity - and specifically the European peoples - from the Jews.
Matt Koehl as a bachelor never married, although he has lived with a life-long companion, Barbara von Goetz, for many years.[1]
