Biography
[edit]Erich Gliebe's political views were influenced by his father, who served in the German Wehrmacht during World War II. He became active within the National Alliance, a white nationalist, antisemitic and white supremacist political organization in the United States.[3] As leader of the Cleveland National Alliance Local Unit, he was hired by William Pierce to run the White-power music label Resistance Records after the National Alliance bought full ownership of it in 1999.
Following Pierce's death in July 2002, Gliebe was appointed the new Chairman by the Board of Directors.[4] He quickly began to alienate members, causing a backlash within the NA leadership.[5] Although Gliebe briefly handed over leadership to Shaun Walker, he resumed control after Walker was charged with Civil Rights violations.[6] Under Gliebe's leadership, the National Alliance's membership decline precipitously. He orchestrated the sale of its Hillsboro, West Virginia property, and halted its operations as a "membership organization".[7]
In April 2009, it was revealed that Gliebe's name was on the list of people banned from entering the United Kingdom.[8]
He was married to Playboy model Erika Gliebe.[9]
Boxing career
[edit]Gliebe was undefeated in five professional fights in the light-heavyweight division over a period of three years. His bouts were at venues within West Virginia. Four fights were won by TKO and one fight was won by a split decision.[10]
