Introduction

August Klapprott was a man of conviction and stood by principles. Although his beliefs weren't popular and at times offensive to just about all of America, he held his convictions tight until the day he died. He was considered a Nazi and hated by many. I grew up knowing this man in a very different light. He was not a hate monger as he has been portrayed, he was a proud German-American that only believed in keeping his heritage as it had been for centuries. He only wanted the races to stay pure. Weather you were African American, White, Asian, Latino Jewish or Muslim. He felt everyone should stick with their own. As most races still believe today. He was informed by the Nazi Party that the Holocaust wasn't happening and it was American propaganda. He believed this to the day he passed away. He in no way hated other races or in any way considered himself superior. He was loyal to America and his German heritage. His political stance was fueled by he himself being persecuted for being German and in America. I spent every Christmas with this man for 30 something years and I just would like everyone to know the side of him that I grew to love and respect. I miss him very much....

Camp Nordland Granted Permit

Burnett to Allow Sale of Liquor Pending Hearing on Charges

Newark, July 1. - The practice of convicting a man before he is tried is a dangerous business in a democracy," declared D. Frederick Burnett, state alcoholic beverage control commissioner yesterday in granting a special liquor permit for the German-American Bund Auxiliary's Camp Nordland at Andover.

The state official's action followed failure of Andover Township officials to gran the permit on application of August Klapprott. Commissioner Burnett pointed out that Klapprott had followed the legal procedure but that objections had been filed to granting the permit. One day was consumed in hearing testimony on the objections and it is estimated that 10 more days will be used for the hearings.

Commissioner Burnett also declared, "Klapprott is entitled to his full day in court, whatever kind of a place he ran or purposes to conduct." The special permit will allow sale of alcholic beverages at the camp until the matter is adjudicated.
