query: By 1933, the Nazi Party was the largest elected party in the German Reichstag.

pos: Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler ( -LSB- ˈadɔlf ˈhɪtlɐ -RSB- ; 20 April 1889 -- 30 April 1945 ) was a German politician who was the leader of the Nazi Party ( Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei ; NSDAP ) , Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 , and Führer ( `` Leader '' ) of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945 . As dictator of the German Reich , he initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939 , and was central to the Holocaust .   Hitler was born in Austria , then part of Austria-Hungary , and raised near Linz . He moved to Germany in 1913 and was decorated during his service in the German Army in World War I . He joined the German Workers ' Party ( DAP ) , the precursor of the NSDAP , in 1919 and became leader of the NSDAP in 1921 . In 1923 he attempted a coup in Munich to seize power . The failed coup resulted in Hitler 's imprisonment , during which he dictated the first volume of his autobiography and political manifesto Mein Kampf ( `` My Struggle '' ) . After his release in 1924 , Hitler gained popular support by attacking the Treaty of Versailles and promoting Pan-Germanism , anti-semitism , and anti-communism with charismatic oratory and Nazi propaganda . Hitler frequently denounced international capitalism and communism as being part of a Jewish conspiracy .   By 1933 , the Nazi Party was the largest elected party in the German Reichstag , which led to Hitler 's appointment as Chancellor on 30 January 1933 . Following fresh elections won by his coalition , the Reichstag passed the Enabling Act , which began the process of transforming the Weimar Republic into Nazi Germany , a one-party dictatorship based on the totalitarian and autocratic ideology of National Socialism . Hitler aimed to eliminate Jews from Germany and establish a New Order to counter what he saw as the injustice of the post-World War I international order dominated by Britain and France . His first six years in power resulted in rapid economic recovery from the Great Depression , the effective abandonment of restrictions imposed on Germany after World War I , and the annexation of territories that were home to millions of ethnic Germans -- actions which gave him significant popular support .   Hitler sought Lebensraum ( `` living space '' ) for the German people in Eastern Europe . His aggressive foreign policy is considered to be the primary cause of the outbreak of World War II in Europe . He directed large-scale rearmament and on 1 September 1939 invaded Poland , resulting in British and French declarations of war on Germany . In June 1941 , Hitler ordered an invasion of the Soviet Union . By the end of 1941 German forces and the European Axis powers occupied most of Europe and North Africa . Failure to defeat the Soviets and the entry of the United States into the war forced Germany onto the defensive and it suffered a series of escalating defeats . In the final days of the war , during the Battle of Berlin in 1945 , Hitler married his long-time lover , Eva Braun . On 30 April 1945 , less than two days later , the two killed themselves to avoid capture by the Red Army , and their corpses were burned .   Under Hitler 's leadership and racially motivated ideology , the Nazi regime was responsible for the genocide of at least 5.5 million Jews and millions of other victims whom he and his followers deemed Untermenschen ( `` sub-humans '' ) and socially undesirable . Hitler and the Nazi regime were also responsible for the killing of an estimated 19.3 million civilians and prisoners of war . In addition , 29 million soldiers and civilians died as a result of military action in the European Theatre of World War II . The number of civilians killed during the Second World War was unprecedented in warfare , and constitutes the deadliest conflict in human history .

neg: Swiss federal election, 1935 Federal elections were held in Switzerland on 27 October 1935 . The Social Democratic Party emerged as the largest party in the National Council , winning 50 of the 187 seats .

neg: German Metal Workers' Union The German Metal Workers ' Union ( Deutscher Metallarbeiter-Verband , abbreviated DMV ) was a German industrial union for metalworkers formed in 1891 and dissolved after the Nazis ' accession to power in 1933 .   German metalworkers started to organize in labor unions in 1868 . In 1891 , at a congress in Frankfurt from June 1 to June 6 , a number of separate unions joined forces to form a single federation with 23,200 members . The DMV was the first industrial union in the country . It was headquartered in Stuttgart . It took over publication of the already extant newspaper Deutsche Metall-Arbeiter-Zeitung . At first , it faced opposition from the established craft unions . Its membership reached 50,000 by 1896 , 100,000 in 1901 , and over 500,000 by 1913 . Its growth was slowed by its failure to gain recognition by employers in large plants in heavy industry until World War I.   During World War I , the DMV , like the rest of the socialist labor movement , did not oppose the country 's war efforts and maintained labor peace , a policy known as the Burgfrieden . As the war effort unraveled and revolutionary struggles broke out , metalworkers rebelled as well . They were a major part of the January Strikes , though the union itself helped re-establish order . After government control collapsed in November 1918 , most leaders had to leave their posts as a result of having supported the war . Once order was restored , the DMV , which was part of the Allgemeiner Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund ( ADGB ) , a confederation of socialist unions , attained recognition from employers and its membership spiked to 1.6 million in 1919 , briefly making it the single largest union in the world . It was , however , unable to attract younger workers throughout the Weimar years and its membership sank to under a million by 1928 . During the 1920s , communists from the Communist Party of Germany ( KPD ) had considerable influence in the DMV .   After the Nazis gained power in 1933 , the DMV was banned on May 2 . Many of its leaders were imprisoned and taken to concentration camps and the union 's assets and property were seized . Some of its organizational structures were integrated into the German Labor Front ( DAF ) , the Nazi Party 's labor organization . Although the DMV opposed the Nazis , it was unable to put up meaningful resistance against their rule .   After World War II , in 1949 , IG Metall was established as the new German federation for metalworkers . It continued the DMV 's tradition , but strove to maintain political neutrality , feeling that political discord in the German labor movement had contributed to the Nazis ' victory in 1933 .

neg: Academy for German Law The Academy for German Law ( Akademie für deutsches Recht ) was an institute founded in 1933 in Nazi Germany on the initiative of Hans Frank . After 11 July 1934 , it was a public corporation of the Reich . It was financed largely by business donations . The academy 's members were prominent representatives of politics , business and academia , including Hermann Göring , Joseph Goebbels , Carl Bosch , Friedrich Flick , Carl Schmitt , and Hans Carl Nipperdey ; its presidents were Hans Frank ( 1933 -- 1943 ) and Otto Georg Thierack ( 1942 -- 1945 ) .   Frank 's original goal for the academy -- influence on National Socialist legislation -- did not prevail because the ministerial bureaucracies successfully defended their prerogatives . The academy developed extensive representative and publishing activities . By holding attractive international congresses , it contributed to the reputation of the Third Reich . Its committees attempted to develop the foundations for a new NS law ( Volk Law Code ) .

neg: Die Zeit (Prague) Die Zeit ( ` The Time ' ) was a German language daily newspaper published in Prague , Czechoslovakia from 1935 to 1938 . The newspaper was the central organ of the Sudeten German Party ( SdP ) . The first issue came out on October 1 , 1935 . Die Zeit took over the role as the central party organ from the weekly Rundschau . Walter Brand was the editor-in-chief of Die Zeit .   The newspaper received funds from Germany . 250,000 Reichmark were transferred for the launch of Die Zeit , followed by a monthly subsidy of 10,000 Reichmarks .   Die Zeit had an illustrated supplement , Zeitspiegel ( ` Mirror of Time ' ) .   As of 1937/1938 SdP re-organized its party press . All small publishing companies were merged in two central publishing companies . On January 1 , 1938 Die Zeit , Zeitspiegel and Rundschau came under the management of the publishing company `` Pressa-Gesellschaft m. b. H. , Herausgabe und Verkauf von Zeitungen und Zeitschriften '' , at Hybernska Street 4 , Prague II . On April 1 , 1938 the weekly Die Zeit am Montag ( ` The Time on Monday ' ) was added to the publications issued by the same company .   The SdP shut down its Prague HQ and Die Zeit on September 14 , 1938 . The suspension of publishing of Die Zeit was supposedly ` temporary ' .   On October 4 , 1938 Die Zeit re-appeared , being published from Dresden , Germany . Once the Reichsgau Sudetenland had been established , Die Zeit became the official NSDAP daily for Sudetenland . The publishing was shifted to Reichenberg . Die Zeit was issued by R.S. Gauverlag Sudetenland G.m.b.H. between 1939-1945 . Publication continued at least until February 1945 .

neg: Frankfurt Documents thumb | right | 200px | Members of the Frankfurt conference  Frankfurt Documents were a series of documents which were an important step on the way to the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany .   On July 1 , 1948 the representatives of the Western allied occupation forces handed over a number of documents to the prime ministers and two ruling mayors from the western zones of occupation , in which the recommendations were made , including establishing a West German state . The main problem of these recommendations was that they did not provide all-German solution , but only a West German state . The Frankfurt documents formed a working basis for the work on the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany . They were created at the London 6-Power Conference in early 1948 .   The handover took place in the IG Farben Building in Frankfurt am Main , and the documents took the name of this town . The military governors Lucius D. Clay ( United States ) , Marie-Pierre Koenig ( France ) and Sir Brian Robertson ( UK ) issued an order establishing a western German state . Present were Peter Altmeier ( Rhineland-Palatinate ) , Karl Arnold ( North Rhine-Westphalia ) , Lawrence Bock ( Württemberg-Hohenzollern ) , Max Brauer ( Hamburg ) , Hans Ehard ( Bavaria ) , Wilhelm Kaisen ( Bremen ) , Hinrich Wilhelm Kopf ( Lower Saxony ) , Hermann Lüdemann ( Schleswig-Holstein ) , Reinhold Maier ( Württemberg-Baden ) , Christian Stock ( Hessen ) and Leo Wohleb ( Baden ) .   A West German state was to be established under the following conditions :   There should be a constitutional convention ( German : Verfassunggebende Versammlung , literally , `` Constituent Assembly '' ) before September 1 , 1948 , to draft a constitution shaping a federal form of government , while maintaining the rights of people and the participating states .  This constitution should first be approved by the military governments , then a referendum in the countries to ratify the Constitution .  The respective simple majority in two thirds of eleven West German states should be sufficient for ratification . Constitutional amendments must be approved by the military governors .  The German foreign policy should continue to be controlled by the military governors in a minimum , as Ruhr questions , repairs , industrial and rights of the Allied forces .  The boundaries of each state should be reviewed and it should , if necessary , taking into account of traditional forms of new countries are created , none compared to the other should be too large or too small .   The Frankfurt Documents prompted the Prime Minister to hold Rittersturz Conference in Koblenz , on the resolutions that were passed .

neg: German federal election, 1928 Federal elections were held in Germany on 20 May 1928 . The Social Democratic Party of Germany ( SPD ) remained the largest party in the Reichstag after winning 153 of the 491 seats . Voter turnout was 75.6 % .   The only two parties to gain significantly were the SPD , who polled almost a third of votes , and the Communist Party of Germany ( KPD ) , completing a thorough victory of the left wing . However , although the SPD now had 153 seats , it still failed to gain a clear majority , resulting in another coalition government led by Hermann Müller . Following his appointment , Müller , who had already been Germany 's Chancellor for 4 months in 1920 , created a grand coalition of members of the SPD , the German Democratic Party , the Centre Party and the German People 's Party . The coalition was plagued by internal divisions right from the beginning , with each party more concerned with their self-interest than the interest of the government and eventually Müller asked President Paul von Hindenburg for emergency powers . When Hindenburg refused , Müller resigned , marking the end of the ` last genuinely democratic government of the Weimar Republic ' on 27 March 1930 .   The recently-reformed Nazi Party contested the elections after the ban on the party was lifted in 1925 . However , the party received less than 3 % of the vote and won just 12 seats in the Reichstag . Adolf Hitler , who had been incarcerated in Landsberg prison for his involvement in the Beer Hall Putsch until Christmas 1924 , had concentrated on re-establishing himself as the leader of the Nazi Party following his release rather than on the party 's electability .

neg: Right-wing politics Right-wing politics hold that certain social orders and hierarchies are inevitable , natural , normal , or desirable , typically supporting this position on the basis of natural law , economics or tradition . Hierarchy and inequality may be viewed as natural results of traditional social differences or the competition in market economies . The term right-wing can generally refer to `` the conservative or reactionary section of a political party or system . ''   The political terms Right and Left were first used during the French Revolution ( 1789 -- 99 ) , and referred to seating arrangements in the French parliament ; those who sat to the right of the chair of the parliamentary president were broadly supportive of the institutions of the monarchist Ancien Régime . The original Right in France was formed as a reaction against the Left , and comprised those politicians supporting hierarchy , tradition , and clericalism . The use of the expression la droite ( the right ) became prominent in France after the restoration of the monarchy in 1815 , when it was applied to the Ultra-royalists . The people of English-speaking countries did not apply the terms `` right '' and `` left '' to their own politics until the 20th century .   Although the right-wing originated with traditional conservatives , monarchists and reactionaries , the term extreme right-wing has also been applied to movements including fascists , Nazis , and racial supremacists . From the 1830s to the 1880s , there was a shift in the Western world of social class structure and the economy , moving away from nobility and aristocracy towards capitalism . This general economic shift toward capitalism affected centre right movements such as the British Conservative Party , which responded by becoming supportive of capitalism . In the United States , the Right includes both economic and social conservatives . In Europe , economic conservatives are usually considered liberal , and the Right includes nationalists , nativist opposition to immigration , religious conservatives , and historically a significant presence of right-wing movements with anti-capitalist sentiments including conservatives and fascists who opposed what they saw as the selfishness and excessive materialism inherent in contemporary capitalism .

neg: German Völkisch Freedom Party The German Völkisch Freedom Party ( Deutschvölkische Freiheitspartei , or DVFP ) was a right-wing and anti-Jewish political party of Weimar Germany that took its name from the Völkisch movement , a populist movement focused on folklore and the German Volk .   The DVFP was founded on December 16 , 1922 , when Wilhelm Henning , Reinhold Wulle and Albrecht von Graefe broke from the German National People 's Party ( DNVP ) . Leading right-wing figures such as Ernst Graf zu Reventlow , Artur Dinter and Theodor Fritsch joined the party on its foundation . Many members of the Deutschvölkischer Schutz und Trutzbund joined the DVFP after the former was banned .   After the Nazi Party was banned in 1924 , the DVFP merged with many Nazis to form the National Socialist Freedom Movement , a move endorsed by Erich Ludendorff and encouraged by Graefe , who hoped to gain control of the far right as a whole . However this alliance was not a success and thus Graefe and Wulle reformed the DVFP as a rival to the Nazi Party in 1925 .

neg: German resistance to Nazism German resistance to Nazism ( German : Widerstand ) was the opposition by individuals and groups in Germany to the National Socialist regime between 1933 and 1945 . Some of these engaged in active plans to remove Adolf Hitler from power and overthrow his regime .   The term German resistance should not be understood as meaning that there was a united resistance movement in Germany at any time during the Nazi period , analogous to the more coordinated Polish Underground State , Greek Resistance , Yugoslav Partisans , French Resistance , Dutch Resistance , Norwegian resistance movement and Italian Resistance . The German resistance consisted of small and usually isolated groups . They were unable to mobilize political opposition . Save for individual attacks on Nazis ( including Hitler ) or sabotage acts , the only real strategy was to persuade leaders of the Wehrmacht to stage a coup against the regime : the 1944 assassination attempt against Hitler was intended to trigger such a coup .   Approximately 77,000 German citizens were killed for one or another form of resistance by Special Courts , courts-martial , People 's Court and the civil justice system . Many of these Germans had served in government , the military , or in civil positions , which enabled them to engage in subversion and conspiracy ; in addition the Canadian historian Peter Hoffman counts unspecified `` tens of thousands '' in concentration camps who were either suspected or actually engaged in opposition . By contrast , the German historian Hans Mommsen wrote that resistance in Germany was `` resistance without the people '' and that the number of those Germans engaged in resistance to the Nazi regime was very small . The resistance in Germany included German citizens of non-German ethnicity , such as members of the Polish minority who formed resistance groups like Olimp .

neg: Freies Volk Freies Volk ( ` Free People ' ) was a newspaper published daily from Düsseldorf , West Germany 1949-1956 . Freies Volk was printed at Freier Verlag GmbH , Ackerstrasse 114 .   The first issue of Freies Volk was published on January 3 , 1949 . Freies Volk replaced Die Freiheit , an organ of the Communist Party of Germany ( KPD ) in Düsseldorf that had been banned in October 1948 , following sharp criticisms against the Allied occupation powers . Freies Volk carried the by-line ` People 's Newspaper for the Rhine-Westphalian Industrial Region ' . On September 1 , 1949 Freies Volk became the central organ of the Communist Party . At the time it had a circulation of 80,000 . Hugo Erlich was named as the editor in chief of Freies Volk .   Publication of Freies Volk was suspended by the Allied occupation authorities in August 1950 , following the article `` Now It 's Tanks and Poison Gas instead of Cigarettes | Bonn as Go-Between in US Arms Trade '' . Publication of the newspaper was resumed in November 1950 . In 1951 Franz Ahrens became the editor in chief of Freies Volk .   In mid-1954 Fritz Bäsel was appointed editor in chief of the newspaper . Soon thereafter he was replaced by Max Schäfer , a key ideologue of the party . Schäfer remained in that post until the party was banned . By 1955 the daily circulation had decreased to 48,000 . After the ban of the Communist Party on August 17 , 1956 , Freies Volk continued publication as an illegal weekly organ of the now underground party . As of 1970 Freies Volk was still being published , albeit irregularly and being edited and printed outside of West Germany .

neg: The Republicans (Germany) The Republicans ( Die Republikaner , REP ) is a national conservative political party in Germany . The primary plank of the program is opposition to immigration . The party tends to attract protest voters who think that the Christian Democratic Union ( CDU ) and the Christian Social Union of Bavaria ( CSU ) are not sufficiently conservative . It was founded in 1983 by former CSU members Franz Handlos and Ekkehard Voigt , and Franz Schönhuber was the party 's leader from 1985 to 1994 . The party has since been led by Rolf Schlierer . The Republicans had seats in the European Parliament in the 1980s , and in the parliament of the German state of Baden-Württemberg until 2001 .   The German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution between 1992 and 2006 said that the Republicans were a `` party with partially extreme-right tendencies '' although the Republican leadership did rebuff an electoral alliance with more openly extreme-right parties such as the National Democratic Party of Germany , losing members to these more successful parties . The Republicans ' strongholds tended to be in relatively affluent South Germany rather than the more economically depressed Eastern Germany where the more radical right-wing parties tended to do well .   In the 2013 federal elections , the Republicans received 0.2 percent of the total national vote .

neg: Georg Escherich Georg Escherich ( born 4 January 1870 in Schwandorf - died 26 August 1941 in Munich ) was a German politician , representative of the Bavarian People 's Party . By profession he was a forester .   In 1919 he became head of the Bavarian Einwohnerwehren , anti-communist home guard groups set up by General Ludwig Maercker . The following year Escherich organised his supporters into the ` Orgesch ' ( from ` Organisation Escherich ) , an anti-Semitic paramilitary group . This new group quickly established links with the Heimwehr in Austria and gave weapons to the units commanded by Richard Steidle and Walter Pfrimer . Escherich was a close ally of Rudolf Kanzler , the leader of ` Orka ' , who was also close to the Heimwehr .   The Orgesch was disarmed and disbanded on the orders of the Allies in 1921 as part of wider moves against the private armies that had sprouted up in Germany since the armistice . He returned in 1928 by founding a Bavarian Heimatschutz , a name also used by the Styrian Heimwehr of his ally Pfrimer , although this group was less significant due to the growth on the right of militia such as the Sturmabteilung and the Stahlhelm , Bund der Frontsoldaten , and was disbanded in 1933 when Adolf Hitler took power .

neg: Burgfriedenspolitik Burgfriedenspolitik ( -LSB- ˈbʊʁkfʁiːdn̩s.poliˌtiːk -RSB- ) -- literally `` castle peace politics '' but more accurately a political policy of `` party truce '' -- is a German term used for the political truce the Social Democratic Party of Germany and the other political parties agreed to during World War I . The trade unions refrained from striking , the SPD voted for war credits in the Reichstag and the parties agreed not to criticize the government and its war . There were several reasons for the Burgfrieden politics : the Social Democrats believed it was their patriotic duty to support the government in war ; they were afraid of government repression should they protest against the war ; they feared living under an autocratic Russian Czar more than the German constitutional monarchy and its Kaiser ; and they hoped to achieve political reforms after the war , including the abrogation of the inequitable three-class voting system , by cooperating with the government .   The only member of parliament of any party to vote against war credits in the second session was Karl Liebknecht . In the third session on 20 March 1915 , Otto Rühle joined him . Over the course of the war the number of SPD politicians opposed to the war steadily increased . Their resistance against the Burgfrieden politics led to the expulsion of Liebknecht , Rosa Luxemburg , Clara Zetkin , and others from the SPD . These went on to found the Spartacist League , the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany ( USPD ) , and the Communist Party of Germany ( KPD ) .   The only trade union to refuse the Burgfrieden was the Free Association of German Trade Unions ( FVdG ) , which would later become the Free Workers ' Union of Germany ( FAUD ) .

neg: Memel Agricultural Party Memel Agricultural Party or MLP ( Memelländische Landwirtschaftspartei ) was the largest and most influential pro-German political party in the Klaipėda Region ( Memel Territory ) from 1925 to 1934 . Leaders of the party were Heinrich Conrad , Konrad von Dressler and James Gubba . Together with the Memel People 's Party , the party was established on June 13 , 1925 , by the Memel Cultural Union ( Memelländischer Kultubund ) in preparation for the first elections to the local county councils and the Parliament of the Klaipėda Region . The party represented farmers , war veterans , fishermen , and some clerks . It published Memel Rundschau , Lietuviška ceitunga , Memeler Dampfboot and controlled several agricultural and credit institutions , including Agraria , Landschaftsbank , Vereinsbank , and Raiffeisenbank . MLP was able to offer discounts to its members and thus gained significant influence in the region . In May 1926 , the party won three seats ( out of 85 ) in the Third Seimas of Lithuania ( August Mielbrecht , Johann Schuischel and Georg Waschkies ) . After the Nazi seizure of power in Germany in 1933 , MLP became increasingly right-wing and encouraged its members to join the pro-Nazi Socialist National Community ( Sozialistische Volksgemeinschaft or SOVOG ) . For their anti-Lithuanian activities SOVOG and MLP were outlawed in 1934 . Some of MLP members were arrested and tried in the Neumann -- Sass case . The party ceased its activities ; its former members ran in later elections under the unified German list ( Memelländische Einheitsliste in 1935 and Memeldeutsche Einheitsliste in 1938 ) .

neg: Free Society of Teutonia The Free Society of Teutonia was one of the earliest National Socialist organizations to appear in America . It was a German American organization that was associated with a strong support for Nazism .   The Society was formed in 1924 by four German immigrants , including Nazi Party members Fritz and Peter Gissibl and their brother Andrew . The organization was originally led by German immigrant and non-citizen Fritz Gissibl , who made his headquarters in Chicago and from there it set about recruiting ethnic Germans who supported German nationalist aims .  The Teutonia Society initially functioned as a club , but soon raised a group of militants based on the SA and , with membership increasing , became vocal critics of Jews , communism and the Treaty of Versailles . Alongside this however it retained a social function , with Teutonia Society meetings frequently ending up in heavy beer drinking sessions .   The group changed its name to the Nationalistic Society of Teutonia in 1926 , at which point Peter Gissibil was advising members to also seek Nazi Party membership . The group gained a strong , if fairly small following , and was able to establish units in Milwaukee , St. Louis , Missouri , Detroit , New York City , Cincinnati and Newark , New Jersey The group 's treasurer was Fritz Gissibil , who was also the main Nazi Party representative in the United States and who regularly collected money for the Nazis through the Society . A `` thank you '' letter from Adolf Hitler to the Society would cause a stir during the Second World War when the Gissibil brothers were brought to trial following an FBI investigation .   The group accepted Hitler as its titular leader and members adopted the Nazi salute , the Society changed its name again in October 1932 to become the Friends of the Hitler Movement .   Under orders of German immigrant and German Nazi Party member Heinz Spanknöbel , the Society was dissolved in March 1933 . In May 1933 , Nazi Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess gave Heinz Spanknöbel authority to form an American Nazi organization . Shortly thereafter , with help from the German consul in New York City , Spanknöbel created the Friends of New Germany by merging two older organizations in the United States , Gau-USA and the Free Society of Teutonia , which were both small groups with only a few hundred members each . The Friends of New Germany in turn formed the basis of the German American Bund in 1936 , the latter name being chosen to emphasise the group 's American credentials after press criticism that the Society was unpatriotic .   One of the leaders of the Teutonia Society was Walter Kappe . Kappe ( b. 1904 ) arrived in the United States in 1925 and worked in a farm implement factory in Kankakee , Illinois . Later he moved to Chicago and began to write for German language newspapers . Kappe was fluent in English and later became the press secretary for the German American Bund . He founded their paper Deutscher Weckruf und Beobachter and its predecessor Deutsche Zeitung . In 1936 , when the German American Bund was established , Kappe organized the AV Publishing Company and five other Bund corporations . Fritz Kuhn ousted Kappe from his position in the Bund seeing him as a dangerous rival . In 1937 , Kappe returned to Germany , where he was attached to Abwehr II ( the sabotage branch of German intelligence ) where he obtained a Naval commission with the rank of lieutenant . He was designated by Adolf Hitler to launch a sabotage operation against America shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor . Known as Operation Pastorius , Kappe recruited men for the mission by reviewing records from the Ausland Institute ( German Foreign Institute ) of those who were paid to return to Germany from America . He established a sabotage school on the outskirts of Berlin to train the new recruits . Once the sabotage network was established and transferred to America , Kappe planned to slip into the US with a new identity and direct operations . On June 13 , 1942 , Richard Quirin , George John Dasch , Heinrich Harm Heinck and Ernst Peter Burger landed on a beach near Amagansett , Long Island , New York on a U-boat . A similar group landed on Ponte Vedra Beach , near Jacksonville , Florida on June 17 , 1942 .

neg: Franz Ritter von Epp Franz Xaver Ritter von Epp , from 1916 Ritter von Epp , ( 16 October 1868 -- 31 January 1947 ) Epp 's death date is often erroneously given as 31 December 1946 . According to Lilla , Staatsminister , this error was replicated from the widely cited Neue Deutsche Biographie . The correct date , 31 January 1947 , is confirmed by Epp 's death certificate in the civil registry of Munich . was a German general and politician , who had started his military career in the Bavarian Army . Succeeded and merited military service during war brought him a knighthood in 1916 . After the armistice of Germany and dissolution of Empire , von Epp was a commanding officer in Freikorps and Reichswehr . He was member of Bavarian People 's Party before joining with Nazi Party in 1928 , when he got elected as a member of German parliament , Reichstag , to the position he held until the end of Third Reich . He acted as Reichskommissar , later Reichsstatthalter , for Bavaria in 1933 .

neg: Alfred Hugenberg Alfred Ernst Christian Alexander Hugenberg ( 19 June 1865 -- 12 March 1951 ) was an influential German businessman and politician . A leading figure in nationalist politics in Germany for the first few decades of the twentieth century , he became the country 's leading media proprietor during the inter-war period . As leader of the German National People 's Party he was instrumental in helping Adolf Hitler become Chancellor of Germany and served in his first cabinet in 1933 , hoping to control Hitler and use him as his `` tool . '' Those plans backfired , and by the end of 1933 Hugenberg had been pushed to the sidelines . Although Hugenberg continued to serve as a `` guest '' member of the Reichstag until 1945 , he wielded no political influence .

neg: National Socialist Workers' Party (Sweden) Nationalsocialistiska Arbetarpartiet ( National Socialist Workers ' Party ) was a Swedish political party which initially espoused Nazism before adopting a more indigenous form of Fascism .   The party was formed in 1933 by Sven Olof Lindholm after he split from the Swedish National Socialist Party , following a series of clashes over policy and personality . The party initially acted as a simple mirror of the National Socialist German Workers Party , with the party newspaper Den Svenske Nationalsocialisten repeating what was being said in Nazi Germany and the Nordisk Ungdom ( Nordic Youth ) group serving as a replica of the Hitler Youth ( albeit on a smaller scale ) . The swastika was also initially used as the party emblem .   The NSAP did differ from the German model from the beginning however , as they placed strong emphasis on the anti-capitalist nature of their rhetoric . The party 's emphasis on the socialism of their Nazism led many to label them Strasserite , although they avoided the direct criticism of Adolf Hitler that was forming the bulk of the writings of Otto Strasser by the mid-1930s .   The party continued to move away from the Hitler model and largely abandoned their ties to Germany in favour of a more Swedish model . In 1938 they stopped using the swastika and replaced it with Vasakärven ( the Vasa sheaf ) , an old Swedish emblem used by King Gustav II Adolf . By the end of the year the party had changed its name to Svensk Socialistisk Samling ( Swedish Socialist Unity ) and had largely dropped all but passing reference to the Nazis . Nonetheless the party declined dramatically during the Second World War and was formally dissolved in 1950 .   In 1943 , the party 's national congress in Uppsala caused the Easter Riots to break out .   During the war its most notable member was later IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad .

neg: Sahara International Film Festival The Sahara International Film Festival , also known as FiSahara , is an annual event which takes place in the Sahrawi refugee camps , at the South West corner of Algeria , near the border with Western Sahara . It is the only film festival in the world taking place in a refugee camp . The first three years the festival was held alternately in the Wilaya of Smara , Wilaya of Ausserd and Wilaya of El Aaiun , but since 2007 the FiSahara had stayed in the Wilaya of Dakhla . The event is backed by the Polisario Front , but largely organised and funded by donors from Spain , the former colonial power in Western Sahara , attracting support from Spanish film celebrities as Penélope Cruz , Javier Bardem and Pedro Almodóvar . This Festival is an initiative to bring film as an entertainment and cultural form to the thousands of Sahrawis whose community has lived for more than thirty years in relative isolation in the Algerian desert , being the only film festival in the world taking place in a refugee camp .  The first festival was in large part organised by Peruvian film director Javier Corcuera .   The festival has the two-fold aim of providing cultural entertainment and educational opportunities to refugees , and of raising awareness of the plight of the Sahrawi people , who have been exiled from their native Western Sahara for more than three decades . Western Sahara , `` Africa 's last colony , '' was given to Morocco and Mauritania by the Spanish when they withdrew in 1976 . The Moroccans subsequently annexed the entire territory in 1979 , in defiance of a ruling from the International Court of Justice . A sixteen-year war ensued between the Moroccans and the native Sahrawi independence movement , the Polisario Front . Under the terms of a 1991 UN ceasefire agreement , a referendum for self-determination was promised , but has been blocked by Morocco . In the meantime an estimated 165,000 refugees continue to live in four large camps in the inhospitable Algerian desert .   Home to around 30,000 refugees , Dakhla is the most remote of the camps , located 175 km away from the nearest city , Tindouf . It has no electricity or paved roads and is dependent on outside supplies of food and water .   Musicians like Fermín Muguruza , Manu Chao , Macaco , Iván Ferreiro , El Chojin or Tomasito had also performed in concerts during the festival .   In 2010 , a twinning agreement was signed between the FiSahara and the San Sebastian Human Rights Film Festival .
