The National Socialist Legion (NSL) is an American neo-nazi hate group.[1][2] The group split off from Vanguard America in January 2018 due to accusations of ineffective leadership and infighting.[1][2] The NSL has been active in around eight U.S. states, mainly distributing propaganda.[1] According to the Anti-Defamation League, the group describes itself as a "revolutionary National Socialist organization" preparing for "the coming Racial Holy War."[1] New members of the NSL are purportedly required to read white supremacist texts, including The Turner Diaries and Siege.[1]
