Erik Blücher

Erik Blücher or Tor Erik Nilsen (born 29 May 1953) is a Norwegian former neo-Nazi activist. A former party leader in Norway, he later became central in neo-Nazi networks in Scandinavia.

In 1975 Erik Blücher founded the national political party Norwegian Front on the foundation of the tiny organization National Youth League, where he himself became the leader. A new party was formed in 1980 under the name National People's Party. In 1983 Blücher moved to Helsingborg in Sweden and changed his name to Erik Nilsen. In a 2006 interview with Norwegian newspaper Stavanger Aftenblad, the first interview he made since retiring from the public spotlight in the 1980s, he calls to account neo-Nazism which he calls a "disastrous cul-de-sac" and a "scourge which has wreaked destruction for both friends and enemies." There he also claims he was never a Nazi, only a nationalist, however this is refuted by organizations which keep a tab on neo-Nazi activity across Europe.
