Louis Leo Snyder (1907–1993) was an American-born German scholar who witnessed the Nazi mass meetings and wrote about them in Hitlerism: The Iron Fist in Germany. He predicted Adolf Hitler's rise to power, alliance with Benito Mussolini, and war upon the French and the Jews. His 1932 book Hitler and Nazism (under the pseudonym Nordicus) predicted Hitler's rise to power. It was the first publication of the complete National Socialist Program.
