German Workers' Party

The German Workers' Party (DAP), founded in 1919, was a political organization in post-World War I Germany. It aimed to represent the working class and promote nationalist and anti-Semitic ideas. The party was relatively small until Adolf Hitler joined in 1919, bringing charisma and organizational skills. Under his leadership, the DAP transformed into the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), commonly known as the Nazi Party. This shift led to significant political influence and ultimately resulted in the establishment of a totalitarian regime in Germany, culminating in World War II and the Holocaust.
