New Order (National Socialist)

New Order is a neo-Nazi organization led by Matt Koehl.

The organization was originally called the American Nazi Party, then was renamed the National Socialist White People's Party after the assassination of George Lincoln Rockwell in 1967. The name New Order was adopted in 1983, and reflects Koehl's Nazi mysticism; a belief in Adolf Hitler as a god-like being sent to rescue European people from Jews. The group describes itself on its website as a "National Socialist religious community." Members of the NSWPP who disagreed with Koehl mostly left in 1970. Some followed Frank Collin in forming the National Socialist Party of America in 1970, and others followed William Luther Pierce, eventually forming the National Alliance in 1974. The esoteric leanings of this group led to a split with the World Union of National Socialists, which Rockwell had founded and whose leader, Danish neo-Nazi Povl Riis-Knudsen, had once been appointed by Koehl.
