George Leggett

Early life and start of neo-Nazi activity According to the NYPD, Leggett was born in the Bronx, New York City, while Leggett himself claimed he was born in Germany and that his family was killed during the Second World War, for which he wanted revenge. The New York Times described the core group as consisting of 12 Forest Hills youths, Leggett advocated for the deportation of all American Jews and Black Americans to Israel and Africa, respectively. Members of the United Nordic Confederation were required to sign an oath dedicating their lives to racial purification and the restoration of the "moral strength, spiritual greatness and physical perfection which make up the true Nordic", and pledged to "be superior in all things beginning with Christianity, humanity, philosophy and science".

Planned bank robbery, arrest, and imprisonment Under Leggett's direction, the United Nordic Confederation plotted to rob a bank in the adjacent Kew Gardens neighborhood, with the intention of seizing $20,000 to $40,000 for the establishment of a neo-Nazi training camp in upstate New York State. While his court case was ongoing, Leggett was arrested again on 27 October 1958 for distributing advertisements for a presumably neo-Nazi publication called "Right". On 3 December 1958, Leggett was convicted on four counts of burglary and three of petit larceny. On 28 January 1959, a judge revised Leggett's conviction to one count of burglary and a suspended sentence for the other six counts– stating that a lengthy prison term would do him "no good" in terms of rehabilitation– and sentenced Leggett to an indeterminate period at Elmira Correctional Facility.

For unknown reasons, Leggett's inmate card conflicts with contemporary reporting and lists his criminal act as theft from three apartments, with his motivation listed as none. It also reports that he was transferred from Elmira to Clinton Correctional Facility in 1962, and that during his prison sentence he read books on Nazism and race, while also being frequently subjected to disciplinary action for a variety of offenses.''' after which nothing more of his life is known.
