German American National Political Action Committee

German American National Political Action Committee

The German-American National Political Action Committee (GANPAC), founded by Hans Schmidt in 1982, is an California-based organization which uses Holocaust denial to contribute to the rehabilitation of National Socialism. GANPAC is also devoted to fighting perceived anti-German sentiment in the media.

Schmidt was a member of the Hitler Youth who later served in the Waffen-SS SS-Leibstandarte Panzer division during World War II. Wounded twice by the end of World War II, the 18 year old corporal had become a veteran of the Battle of the Bulge.

Schmidt has since been a leading proponent of Holocaust denial in the United States for many years. Following along the lines of many other anti-Semites, Schmidt promotes the thesis of "Jewish control" of banks, the media, and the government.
