Most of the info in your post I was aware of, although I know very little about the prison gangs.

I have to question what you've said about the Nordic peoples. I had been taught that Hitler considered the Nordics to be Aryans and that he was bitterly disappointed in their resistance. Wikipedia confirms this: "...Hitler made references (in chapter 11 of Mein Kampf) to an "Aryan Race" founding a superior type of humanity. The purest stock of Aryans according to Nazi ideology was the Nordic people of Sweden and Norway. The Nazis claimed that Germanic people represented a southern branch of the Aryan-Nordic population. (Which is backwards as the Nordic people were originally Teutonic tribes that migrated north from what is now Germany.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism_and_race

The lmao wasn't directed at you or what you posted but rather at the idea of modern American Nazis believing that the Irish aren't white enough. lol I'm sure Pat Buchanan would be horrified at the thought. But then reading the wiki article reminds one just how bizarre and inconsistent the original Nazis were. "The nazis' minds work like a cuckoo clock keeping time in hell." Indeed.
