Before Pearl Harbor, a terrifying pro-Nazi organization known as the German American Bund operated hidden in plain sight, serving as the ultimate culmination of National Socialism on American soil. This thrilling historical examination traces the movement’s dark origins from the early seeds of the Teutonia Society through the Bund’s explosive rise, exposing their vast network of secret suburban campsites and their vision for a fascist America. The presentation then pivots to an intimate, forensic look at Carl Schiphorst, a Bergen County, NJ Bund leader targeted by a highly classified 145-page FBI espionage investigation. Drawing from extensive, newly analyzed FBI counterintelligence dossiers, audiences will experience the chilling details of federal surveillance and discover whether this suburban neighbor was actually an undercover Nazi spy.
