Elwood Alfred Towner (1897-1954), famously known as 'Chief Red Cloud', was a native American supporter of Adolf Hitler and National Socialism. He was also a staunch fighter for Native American rights and a friend of the German American Bund during the 1930s/40s. In the 1930s he visited many schools and lecture halls in a variety of different places, educating listeners on the plight of the Native Americans and the dangers of communism. In one of his speeches he called the Jews 'chuck-na-gin', which he described as an American Indian term for 'children of the devil.' His fiery speeches rallied against the Jews, encouraged American Indians to unite with Germany against the Jews, and exposed the American president of being a Jew himself. Towner also proudly praised Adolf Hitler, calling him a spiritual brother and spoke about the spiritual connection he felt toward the Führer. In 1954, Chief Red Cloud, the Indian warrior of truth, passed away.
So yes, it is a well-known fact that National Socialist Germany was extremely sympathetic to the Native American plight. It is said that representatives, writers and propagandists from Germany talked of giving back expropriated land to the Indians and creating autonomous Indian states in America. Something that could only have happened with Adolf Hitler's help and a National Socialist victory. The Germans were interested in helping the plight of indigenous peoples in North and South America, hoping to incite an uprising by the “hemispheric Indian,” creating allies and instability in their search for world conquest.
