Camp Nordland
Camp Nordland was a 204-acre resort facility located in Andover Township, New Jersey. From 1937 to 1941, this site was owned and operated by the German American Bund an organization known for sympathizing and propagandizing for Nazi Germany in the United States. This resort camp was opened by the Bund on 18 July 1937.
==History==
In the years before the Second World War, the Bund held events at the facility to encourage pro-German, pro-Nazi values—many of these events attracting over 10,000 visitors. On 18 August 1940, it was the site of a joint rally of with the Ku Klux Klan, organized by Alton Milford Young and Arthur Hornbui Bell. On 30 April 1941, Sussex County sheriff Denton Quick (d. 1969) led a law-enforcement raid with ten deputized American Legionnaires on the camp which resulted in its closure, confiscation, and the arrests and trials of key Bund leaders. One of those convicted, August Klapprott, a naturalised American citizen, later petitioned the Supreme Court of the United States in ''Klapprott v. United States'', 335 U.S. 601 (1949), to intervene in the revocation of his citizenship and proposed deportation that resulted from his conviction.
After being seized by the government, the property was turned over eventually to Andover Township and became the township's "Hillside Park." Today, the facility houses the township's police headquarters and several recreation fields. The property's banquet hall is used for township events and frequently rented for wedding receptions. While much of its history and notoriety has faded over the last 70 years, many local residents of Sussex County still refer to the area as the "bund camp."
