Archive/File: fascism degrelle.leon Last-modified: 1993/05/04 DEGRELLE, LEON Leon Degrelle achieved the rank of SS general while in the service of Adolf Hitler as leader of the "Walloon Legion" (Belgian SS). Condemned to death after the war by a court in his native Belgium, Degrelle escaped to Spain where he remains active as a Nazi apologist. Praising Hitler as "the greatest genius of all time," Degrelle lectures positively about the SS and is the author of equally positive articles and books about the SS which are published and distributed in the United States by the Institute for Historical Review (see separate entry for Willis Carto). Video tapes featuring Degrelle's Nazi apologetics were viewed by Ron Furey in the video production facilities of D. Warmt, brother-in-law of Heinz Reisz (see separate entries for both). Although no meeting took place between Mr. Degrelle and Simon Wiesenthal Center researchers, the name of his "go-between" was learned - Erich Norling. (Request fascism SWC.oprep)
