It was originally called "World Union of free Enterprise National Socialists"
A mouthful I know, but that does describe the movement accurately.

He was a showman and figured he'd get a lot more press if he just outright called himself a Nazi and wore an inflamatory uniform to go along with it.

Larping aside Rockwell was a good man, who genuinely believed in the movement and essentially died for it.

I think he would have gotten further if he was less inflammatory and got more upstanding people to join the party (he recruited druggies and homos in the hopes of setting them straight)
He also should have worked more with the Nation if Islam and Elijah Muhammad to inform the black middle class of the time how short sighted MLK's beliefs were.

It was a crazy time, and Rockwell was a crazy man. The sane rarely make history.
