Did we all know that there were Nazi Summer Camps for kids and pro-Nazi rallies that attracted 22,000 at Madison Square Gardens in the 1930's? (link)

Came across the summer camp article from a summer camp camp FB page and the MSG one was linked from that.

I did not know that there was this much support for Nazi's in North America. Its kind of creepy.
