In 1942, he was convicted of failing to register with the United States Department of State as a Nazi agent and sentenced to 2 to 6 years in prison. After unsuccessful appeals all the way up to the Supreme Court, he was imprisoned for 5 years on July 31st, 1943. Viereck spent 3 years and 10 months in prison, until May 17th, 1947, when he was discharged on the grounds that he was not compelled to report his activities "except as an agent of a foreign government." Postwar Viereck's memoir of life in prison, Men Into Beasts, was published as a paperback original by Fawcett Publications in 1952. The book is a general memoir of discomfort, loss of dignity, and brutality in prison life. The front matter and backcover text focuses on the situational homosexuality and male rape described in the book (witnessed, not experienced, by Viereck). Family He had two sons, George and Peter. George was killed in action during the Second World War. His other son, Peter Viereck, was a historian, political writer and poet. A 2005 New Yorker article discusses how the younger Viereck both rejected and was shaped by the ideologies of his father.
