Friends of New Germany

NSDAP member Heinz Sponknobel merged two older organizations, Gau-USA, and the Free Society of Teutonia, which were both small groups with only a few hundred members each, into Friends of New Germany. The Free Society of Teutonia was a German American organisation that was associated with a strong support for Nazism. Friends of New Germany was an organization founded in 1933 in support of the Nazi party in the United States. One of its early initiatives was to counter, with propaganda, a Jewish boycott of businesses in the heavily German neighborhood of Yorkville, Manhattan. Propaganda is a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviors of large numbers of people American Jews, or Jewish Americans A boycott is a form of Consumer activism involving the act of voluntarily abstaining from using buying or dealing with someone or some other organization as an expression of Yorkville is a neighborhood within the Upper East Side of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. Simultaneously, an internal battle was fought for control of the Friends in 1934; Sponknobel was ultimately ousted from leadership. At the same time, the Dickstein investigation concluded that the Friends supported a branch of German dictator Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party in America.

The Bund was one of several German-American heritage groups; however, it was one of the few to express National Socialist ideals.
