George Lincoln Rockwell who lived in the big old farmhouse on "Hatemonger Hill" where Upton park swimming park is now at the top of Wilson Blvd. He had a compound there. He had served in the US Navy during WW2 and was the commander of black sailors who it has been said he treated well at the time.
In 1966 he was interviewed for Playboy Magazine by Alex Haley who had just retired from the Coast Guard. later Haley wrote the famous book "Roots".
In the Playboy article Rockwell and Haley sat down with Rockwell's American Nazi party guards around him , he was cordial to Haley but told him, my people call you "Nigger". Rockwell predicted that by 1972 he would be dead , in jail or the President of the USA. He was right he was dead killed by a henchman in the parking lot of the cleaners in the little shopping center on Wilson Blvd just down the street. The Henchman was up on the roof and shot Rockwell with a German Broomhandle Mauser as he got into his beat up car.. the pistol is still in the evidence vault at Arlington Courthouse.
Rockwell got donations from the sale of American Nazi party items most notable the "Boat Ticket Back to Africa Tickets" which was a 1 way ride back to Africa with "Beer Wine Whiskey and Marijuana" refreshments.
In 1966 I was a young morning Virginia Pilot news paper boy and one morning I saw hundreds of paper "tickets" in the street with the Nazi Flag on them and the words "Niggers! Hand Off Whites Or Die" , a mixed race couple who I delivered the paper to lived in a townhouse there. It scared the shit out of me. I had never seen anything like that in my life. They were from the American Nazi Party.
So Now that you know "The Rest Of the Story" Forget about George Lincoln Rockwell and go to Mario's for a great cheese steak said here on FFU to be the "size of a Buick" "Leftys Special" And Lefty and Joe the cooks there, Lefty on the grill, Joe at the Pizza oven have each been there 50 years and were probably there when Rockwell was outside, but leave them be they have probably been hounded ten thousand times for a story about it.
Sorry No Pics and no bullshit either.
