My co-worker in Hanover PA in 1965 was a former Eastern Front Artillery man in Hitler’s Army. "Student threatened shooting at South Western school

Hanover had white street gangs in 1965. A rougher place than York PA. 

I don’t know what Hanover is like now. 

Back then the York area was racist, John Birch Society, Hitler had his good points, territory.

Several former German Wehrmacht men settled in Pennsylvania.  Hanover is a good German name. The former Wehrmacht guys were nice friendly people. But they do say stuff like Hitler created jobs and probably were racist and anti-Semitic.

In 65 York PA had a mentally ill racist Mayor. The York PD told white street gangs where they could find a lone black kid or two to beat up. 

"An 18-year-old South Western School District student allegedly talked to his fellow classmates about shooting up the school, according to police. 

Penn Township Police say Ethan Michael Wilson also made comments about putting explosives in the lobby to block it, and that he was making explosives in his basement. 

Wilson, of the 800 block of Alvin Street, is charged with terroristic threats."
