Francis Parker Yockey (September 18, 1917 – June 16, 1960) was an American fascist and pan-Europeanist ideologue. A lawyer, he is known for his neo-Spenglerian book , published in 1948 under the pen name Ulick Varange, which called for a neo-Nazi European empire.[1]

Yockey supported far-right causes around the world and remains an influence of white nationalist and neo-fascist movements. Yockey was an antisemite, revered German Nazism, and was an early Holocaust denier.[1] In the 1930s he contacted or worked with the Nazi-aligned Silver Shirts and the German-American Bund. He served in the U.S. Army in 1942–43, and went AWOL to help Nazi spies.[1] After legal appointments in Detroit in 1944–45, he worked for eleven months on the War Crimes tribunal in Germany before he either resigned or was fired for siding with the Nazis.[2] In London, he worked for the British fascist Oswald Mosley's Union Movement, and after falling out with Mosley, founded the breakaway European Liberation Front in 1949, leading it until it fizzled around 1954.[3]

During the Cold War, Yockey reportedly worked with Soviet bloc intelligence, and argued for a tactical far-right alliance with the Soviets against what he saw as Jewish-American hegemony. He also briefly wrote anti-Jewish propaganda in Egypt, where he met its president Gamal Abdel Nasser. Yockey remained influential in fascist circles until his suicide in FBI custody in 1960. Yockey's last visitor in prison was Willis Carto, who became the leading advocate and publisher of his writings.[4]

Additional information

Note that every piece of information about Yockey must be taken with a grain of salt as he was prone to using false information and aliases.

According to a ship manifest for the s/s Stavelot (Atlantic Overseas Corp.), on 9 MAR 1950 Yockey returned to the United States through the Port of New York from Antwerp, having set out 28 FEB 1950. He was traveling with a violin, a typewriter and a trunk. His listed address, was 702 E. Soudington Ave., Soudington, Mich, which was corrected on the manifest by hand to 702 E. Ludington Ave., Ludington, Michigan. (S6) The next year, on 5 NOV 1951, Yockey returned to New York from Southampton aboard the Queen Mary (Cunard), which set sail on 31 OCT 1951. His residence was listed as the same as for his 1950 return. He was carrying Passport 1893 issued in Illinois and had three pieces of luggage. (S9) Both trips were taken in Cabin class.
