“Unfortunately for the Nazis, there were competitors for the allegiance of the volatile white youth of South Boston. David Duke’s Knights of the Ku Klux Klan had made an impressive appearance[...] The Nazi publication White Power Report, credited Duke with being the most effective racist agitator in Boston during this period, and [...] continued that the Ku Klux Klan's various rites and mysteries were exciting enough for the racist youth without indulging in the Hitler cult [and] noted that the Klan's rallies were far better attended than Nazi meetings.” — Jim Saleam, American Nazism in the Context of the American Extreme Right, 1960–1978 [not a reliable source, but I don't doubt this passage]
