The European Liberation Front (ELF) was a neo-Nazi, pan-European nationalist group that split from Oswald Mosley's fascist Union Movement in 1948. [1] Its founder was Francis Parker Yockey, alongsidge Guy Chesham and John Anthony Gannon. [2] [3] It issued a manifesto called The Proclamation of London, written by Yockey. [3] [4] It lasted until 1954. [5] It would reach a maximum of 150 members [6]
Yockey´s domineering behaviour telling Guy Chesham to leave his wife, in Yockey´s words "to leave the bitch", and to follow him into Bohemia cost him Chesham´s support. [7]
Peter Huxley-Blythe was the only notable member of the organization, who had to suspend his participation in the organization due to being drafted into the Korean War. [7]
The organization would publish a pamphlet entitled, The Proclamation of London. [7]
Some point afterwards there was briefly a new organisation, which went by the same name that was created in it´s inspiration by Christian Bouchet. [8]
