Burial Of Rockwell Refused
Rockwell would not be buried in Culpeper National Cemetery after his American Nazi Party followers refused Army orders to remove swastikas and insignia. The body remained five hours in a flag covered coffin as MPs blocked access to the grave site and Koehl disputed the Army ruling on dignity and proper conduct. The ceremony ended with the party outwardly avoiding elicit displays and the body to be moved to Arlington where he was slain last Friday.
