Vom deutschen Gehilfenverein zur DNSAP. Die Entwicklung einer Partei im Überblick

Abstract

While the details of the rise of the national socialists of Hitlerʹs NSDAP in Germany are widely known, the ideological roots of this movement and its origin in the Austro‐Hungarian empire are often left undiscussed. This paper focuses on the ideological development of what later would become the national socialist party of Austria and the relation of this party to Hitler’s NSDAP and the Czechoslovakian national socialists.
