Prussian Blue is a white nationalist folk teen duo formed in early 2003 by Lynx Gaede and Lamb Gaede (pronounced gay-dee or in IPA, ), fraternal twin girls born June 30, 1992 and brought up in the United States.

The name of the group is derived from the 'Prussian Blue' color.

History

  Two young ladies who sing racist songs...what more has to be said about that? Nothing, other than the fact that they have released three albums. I would not be surprised if the only reason these albums were pressed was because of immigrant slave labor being exploited in some way. 



  These two young ladies are ignorant, they were raised by equally ignorant and misguided people. They somewhat have talent but they are wasting it on racist songs. Here is a tidbit of info, in about 60 years everyone will be so mixed that there won't be a reasonably white person alive, with the exception of those alive today. In 60 years however, are you really going to care?

My only hope is that this group will maybe, just maybe, get free of their parental figures and probably learn something for themselves. You were homeschooled, that is sad. You were raised by a white supremist, that is equally as sad. Do us a favor and use your own brains to think for once and stop acting out whatever was taught to you by a bunch of behind the times, nobodies.(That would be your parents)

That's it and oh yes, when I said they were somewhat talented, after watching the high budget --which was ten dollars for food, drinks and batteries for the camera-- video for "Victory Day". I realized they arn't very talented at all.

Ideology

The group has strong ties to the National Vanguard organization, a white nationalist group formed by disaffected former members of the National Alliance. Their ideology has been described as racist and white supremacist in nature by many organizations: . The Daily Telegraph reports that, on stage, the twins execute the Sieg Heil salutes.

According to ABC News, the girls were homeschooled by their mother, April Gaede, an activist and writer for the white nationalist organization National Vanguard. The twins' grandfather wears a swastika belt buckle, uses the Nazi symbol on his truck, and registered it as a cattle brand. The twins have a baby sister named Dresden Hale, named after the German city and self-proclaimed White supremecist Matt Hale.

They describe their ancestry as English and German. The band was named after the color Prussian blue, as a reference to the name of the blue residue left over by the use of Zyklon B, the poison the Nazis employed to kill millions of Jews and others in concentration camps during World War II. Although the duo have said that they think Prussian blue is "just a really pretty color," in an interview with viceland.com, they stated that it is also a reference to the claims made by many Holocaust deniers (generally regarded as misguided by historians, chemists, and others) that "(t)here is also the discussion of the lack of 'Prussian Blue' coloring (Zyklon B residue) in the so-called gas chambers in the concentration camps. We think it might make people question some of the inaccuracies of the Holocaust myth." During their ABC interview, the twins said they believe Adolf Hitler was a great man with good ideas, such as eugenic standards and incentives to improve the genetic quality of the German people, and marriage loans to help qualified German families begin upon a firm financial basis. In the interview, the twins described the Holocaust as being exaggerated.

They have recently been criticized for stipulating that goods they donated to Hurricane Katrina victims should go only to white people; "After a day of trying, the supplies ended up with few takers, dumped at a local shop that sells Confederate memorabilia." In the ABC Primetime segment referred to above, their representative can be seen going from house to house looking for someone willing to accept a donation of household supplies on a "whites only" basis without success; a white woman, at first incredulous that there would be such a stipulation, exclaims "Screw y'all!"

Lyrics and influences

Most of the songs on Prussian Blue's first album are covers of white nationalist songs. The majority of those were written by David Lane, Ian Stuart, and Ken McLellan. Two of Prussian Blue's songs on their first album are dedicated to famous Nazis and neo-Nazi activists such as Rudolf Hess and Robert Jay Mathews. One of those songs, which was written by Lamb, is "Sacrifice":

Sacrifice by Lamb Gaede

Rudolf Hess, man of peace
He wouldn't give up and he wouldn't cease
Remember him and give a pause

Robert Mathews knew the truth
He knew what he had to do
He set an example with courage so bold

We'll never let that fire grow cold

Another song of theirs, "Gone With the Breeze," is dedicated to Robert Mathews. The cover songs the duo chose to include on their album invoke ideas like Valhalla and Vinland, taken from Norse mythology and sagas. Several of the songs, including "Victory Day," refer to a race war which the members of Prussian Blue believe to be coming soon.

The debut single for their second album, "The Stranger," is adapted from a poem by Rudyard Kipling which is popular with white supremacists and nationalists.

On their blog Prussian Blue recently released a cover of a song called "Ocean of Warriors" in mp3 format, dedicated to white participants in the 2005 Sydney, Australia race rioting.

In 2006, a compilation album was released through the NPD in Germany titled For The Fatherland.

On the 23rd ofSeptember 2006, Prussian Blue released a new single entitled 'Stand Up' as their contribution to the 'Free Matt Hale' (of the Creativity Movement) CD being produced by Condemned Records.

The girls have been active in the White Nationalist movement from a very early age. Lynx had a poem published in Viceland Magazine in 2003 entitled 'What Must Be Done' at the age of ten.

What Must Be Done by Lynx Gaede, age 10

Fire and Rage burn inside
But I will hold on to my pride.
My race and my family make me brave---
They are all I want; I do not crave.

We will fight for what we believe;
Our land we will retrieve.
Our race is Nature's Finest,
So I can't understand people's blindness.

ALL the mud races must be banished,
For look at the world they have damaged.
Look around and what do I see?
Ugly brown faces staring at me.

Our people must look like my mom and dad.
They don't now and that makes me mad.
We don't want to be mongrelized,
We want to be Nature's Finest down deep inside.

Now sit down and think of what I just said;
Remember our cause until you are dead.
Hope what I wish comes true,
And that people come to look like me and you.

I am proud of what I just wrote,

And now I will go and read it to my folk.
