The American Nazi Party admitted a researcher to its locked Arlington headquarters in 1971

Evidence

The office on the ground floor was locked when I arrived, and I had to identify myself. I was admitted to a small anteroom containing a desk, a few chairs, and a rack of party literature. Large pictures of Adolf Hitler and Lincoln Rockwell hung on a wall. — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 3052
