H. Keith Thompson

Harold Keith Thompson (September 17, 1922 – March 3, 2002) was a New York City-based corporate executive and a figure within American far right circles. Thompson is a graduate of Yale University.

Thompson was born in New Jersey in 1922. He began his political career before America's entry into World War II when he campaigned against involvement as a member of the German American Bund and the America First Committee. In this role, he came to the attention of Nazi Germany and was appointed as a Special Agent of the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) Overseas Intelligence Unit on July 27, 1941.

After the war, Thompson returned to Yale University in 1946 and completed his studies before embarking on an expedition to Antarctica. This was as part of Operation Highjump under the command of Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd. He would soon befriend Otto Skorzeny and worked alongside him in setting up ODESSA.

Alongside his political activities, Thompson also found work in public relations and this remained his area of employment. He died in 2002.

Thompson became a close ally of Otto Ernst Remer and in 1951 when he registered with the United States Department of Justice as the American representative for the Socialist Reich Party, a position he held until the group was banned in 1952. Around the same time, he also became involved with the National Renaissance Party. His political involvement brought him into contact with Francis Parker Yockey while both men were campaigning for Remer's release from prison during the 1950s. Thompson and Yockey remained close allies until the latter's death in 1960.
