The American Guard: "The White Man's Party" [broadside]

Chicago: The American Guard; Olov Edvin Tietzow, 1937. 8.5x18 inch broadside, horizontal fold crease, some toning at top and bottom edges, otherwise very good. PO Box for correspondence rubberstamped twice. On the verso is a penned note giving the Muscatine, Iowa address from which it had been mailed to the recipient by Tietzow.

Calls for White Christians to unite under the banner of Aryan Americanism, "under the Stars and Stripes and the sign of the Swastika, symbol of your race." The first two planks of the platform are "Elimination of the Jewish-Communistic menace" and establishment of a racial state. Other planks include abolition of taxes and child labor, and moving the capital from Washington DC to Chicago. The Swedish-born Olov Edvin Tietzow founded The American Guard but also worked with the Nazi agent Oscar Pfaus to set up at least one other organization in New York.
