It was renamed the National Socialist’s White People's Party and the leadership consistently switched hands. It is presumably still around today. In US history, many Neo-Nazis have run for office and have won over many people but rarely reach any higher political office. Some of the Neo-Nazi groups are alike and have similar ideas to the Ku Klux Klan, they have shared leaders and sometimes worked together. The rise of Neo-Nazism in the United States is not unique.

Though the blame can easily rest on them, Hitler’s success can be appropriately blamed on the support of the ordinary German citizens. What many people do not discuss is how such a radical person could be able to build such a large and willing party, or how he was able to convince an entire country to follow him, even during the atrocities the Nazis committed. From the time Hitler became Chancellor to the fall of the Third Reich, many Germans were his loyal and faithful followers. In 1933, the Nazi party received 44% of the vote in the Reichstag…
