A [http://real-life-villains.wikia.com/wiki/Adolf_Hitler Hitler] fan since age 11, '''Gary Rex "Gerhard" Lauck''', an American with a put-on German accent and Hitlerite moustache, is often referred to as the "Farm Belt Fuhrer." From his home in Lincoln, Neb., Lauck, who also founded the NSDAP/AO (the German language acronym for National Socialist German Workers Party/Overseas Organization, the translated name of the original Nazi party's overseas unit), exported or smuggled millions of pieces of neo-Nazi propaganda in 10 languages to at least 30 countries and became a key player in the resurgence of German neo-Nazism in the 1990s as a result. Arrested in 1995 in Denmark, Lauck would wind up spending four years in prison in Germany for his activities. By the time he emerged, the Internet had supplanted him as an easy-to-mine source for neo-Nazi propaganda in countries where it is illegal. | |||

Trying to take advantage of technological change, Lauck built his own website, primarily written in German and intended for German readers, containing information on his organization and life. In 2001, Lauck also set up a Web-hosting company — Zensurfrei.com, meaning "censorship-free" — that has actively targeted European clients, particularly Germans. "Political repression is increasing in Europe!" his page warns. "European webmasters can reduce their risk by moving their website to the USA!" Lauck's firm promises secrecy, and its staff tells potential customers that they can converse fluently with clients in German. | Trying to take advantage of technological change, Lauck built his own website, primarily written in German and intended for German readers, containing information on his organization and life.
