The National Socialist, No. 9, Apr.-June 1965
London: The National Socialist, 1965. The penultimate issue of this erratically published newspaper of the National Socialist Movement (NSM), Britain's first explicitly post-war National Socialist organization. Founded by Colin Jordan and John Tyndall on Hitler's birthday in 1962, the party emerged out of a split in the British National Party, of which both men had been members. During its short existence, the group instigated the Trafalgar Square riot, led a paramilitary group called Spearhead, saw most of its leadership imprisoned, facilitated the formation of the World Union of National Socialists, and ultimately collapsed due to infighting. Tyndall left (or was kicked out) in 1964 and started the Greater Britain Movement while Jordan single-handedly kep the organization alive for another year or two before later forming the British Movement.
This issue features a cover photo-montage of interracial couples, part of Jordan's lengthy article on "The Coloured Invasion" (later issued as a separate publication). Other content - all seemingly by Jordan - includes an article, "Hitler Was Right," an editorial, short news items, local and international coverage of National Socialist activities, and articles on the swastika and Aryan/Norse symbols.
Tabloid format printed in black on newsprint, 8 pp., illus. Faint moisture spotting to the bottom margin of the front cover, else a very good copy. Any issue scarce in the trade. Item #15374
