German Workers' Party (DAP)

The German Workers' Party (DAP) was a nationalist and anti-communist political organization founded in Germany in 1919. It aimed to promote German pride, oppose Marxism, and assert traditional values. The party attracted individuals disillusioned after World War I, including those with nationalist and anti-Semitic views. In 1920, it was renamed the Nazi Party (NSDAP), which later gained prominence under Adolf Hitler. The DAP’s early focus on nationalist rhetoric and social grievances laid the groundwork for the Nazi movement's rise to power in Germany.
