Silver Legion of America
1933 – 1941
The Silver Legion of America, commonly known as the Silver Shirts, was an American fascist and pro-Nazi organization which was founded by William Dudley Pelley and headquartered in Asheville, North Carolina.
Why it's on the map
The organisation also published recruitment literature including One Million Silver Shirts by 1939, which outlined plans to restrict Jewish property rights and dismantle the New Deal.
A Silver Shirt office opened in downtown Spokane in 1936, eventually attracting about 200 members.
A "Silver Lodge" was established at Redmond, Washington around 1936.
