Description

Murphy Ranch is a ranch built in Rustic Canyon, in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles in the 1930s by Winona and Norman Stephens, who were Nazi sympathizers. Designed as a base for Nazi activities in the U.S., it was intended to be capable of being self-sustaining for long periods. The compound had a water storage tank, a fuel tank, a bomb shelter, and various outbuildings and bunkers. On Monday, December 8, 1941, the day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, local police occupied the compound and detained 50 members of the group.
