John Patler

John Patler (born March 14, 1938), formerly Yanacki Patsalos, is the man best known as the assassin of American Nazi Party leader George Lincoln Rockwell. Patler was from a poor immigrant Greek family and grew up in New York City. Patler had been a member of a street gang in New York City and reportedly had killed a childhood friend at age 16. Patler also had a history of mental illness. [http://www.heretical.com/miscella/glrbtta2.html] He changed his name to Patler to make it sound more like Hitler.

Patler had formerly been a captain in the American Nazi Party and was the editor and cartoonist for the party magazine, "Stormtrooper". On August 25th, he allegedly fired two shots with a Mauser semi-automatic pistol from the rooftop of a beauty salon in the Dominion Hills shopping center in Arlington, Virginia into George Rockwell's car. Two bullets went through the windshield, hitting him fatally in the head and chest. Rockwell struggled out of the passenger side of his automobile and died on the pavement.

Patler was sentenced to 20 years in prison for Rockwell's murder in December 1967. Patler was paroled in 1975, but violated his parole and served an additional six years.
