The European Liberation Front (ELF) was a neo-Nazi, pan-European nationalist group that split from Oswald Mosley's fascist Union Movement in 1948.[1] Its founder was Francis Parker Yockey, alongside Guy Chesham and John Anthony Gannon.[2][3] It issued a manifesto called The Proclamation of London, written by Yockey.[3][4] It lasted until 1954.[5] It would reach a maximum of 150 members [6]

Yockey's domineering behaviour telling Guy Chesham to leave his wife, in Yockey's words "to leave the bitch", and to follow him into Bohemia cost him Chesham´s support.[7]

Peter Huxley-Blythe was the only notable member of the organization, who had to suspend his participation in the organization due to being drafted into the Korean War.[7]

The organization would publish a pamphlet entitled, The Proclamation of London.[7]

Some point afterwards there was briefly a new organisation, which went by the same name that was created in its inspiration by Christian Bouchet.[8]
