Gary Lauck

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Lincoln, Nebraska resident Gary Lauck (aka Gerhard Lauck or the Farmbelt Fuehrer) was probably the largest producer of neo-Nazi literature in the world, until 1995 when he visited Europe and was extradited to Germany for disseminating hate literature. He was in prison for 4 years, returned to Lincoln, and retaliated against the nation of Germany by registering the domain for registering the domain "www.republicofgermany.com" and filling it with hate literature and information on himself. As a result, Germany sued the United States, in an intellectual property case that turned quite a few heads. Lauck lost the case.
