In a move that has sent shockwaves through the nation, Erich Kuhn, the former leader of the German American Bund, walked out of prison today, bound for New York. The erstwhile Nazi sympathizer, who had been behind bars for his misuse of the organization’s funds, was seen leaving the facility in the custody of two U.S. marshals. Kuhn’s release comes as denaturalization proceedings are set to begin on Monday, a move aimed at stripping him of his American citizenship.
