Field of Vision – A Night at the Garden from Field of Vision on Vimeo.
Footage has been discovered showing 20,000 people cheering on the idea of a white supremacist USA in New York’s Madison Square Garden – in the guise of a “pro-American rally”.
The footage, shot on February 20, 1939, shows the audience throwing Nazi salutes as the American flag is carried to a stage bedecked with a 30-foot-high painting of George Washington flanked by swastikas.
The Pledge of Allegiance is then read out before the group’s leader, German-American Fritz Kuhn, gets up to denounce the “Jewish media” and call for America to be “returned to the American people … a white, gentile-ruled United States”.
