The National Socialist German Workers' Party, commonly known as the Nazi Party, was a extreme-right fascist political party which led the counter-revolutionary reaction against the Soviet Union, officially causing the Second World War and thus the mass extermination of Jews and other people.

The rise of the Nazi Party was supported by the British Royal Family and their state intelligence services as a bulwark against Soviet communism.[2]

History[edit | edit source]

Wealthy oligarchs in the United States such as George Bush's grandfather Prescott Bush helped to finance the rise of the Nazi party up until as late as 1942.[3]

The NSDAP was originally known as the German Workers’ Party or DAP, a merging of Anton Drexler’s Committee of Independent Workmen and Karl Harrer’s Political Workers’ Circle in January 1919. Drexler was a petit-bourgeois locksmith while Harrer was a newspaper reporter. Drexler’s original goal was to build an ultranationalist political party based on the masses of the working class,[4] hence most of its original members were workers from Drexler’s railway yards, but membership was few in number. The Thule Society, a largely petit-bourgeois organization of which Harrer was a member, cofounded the DAP and acted as its original protector and financial sponsor. Its goal was to popularize ultranationalism among the German working class, a for which Harrer deemed Drexler best suited. Nevertheless, the Thule Society’s financial contributions to the DAP were quite modest and the party met together in poor conditions.[5]

On February 20, 1920, the DAP renamed itself to the more euphemistic National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Initially, Adolf Hitler disliked the addition of the term ‘Socialist’ but acquiesced because the executive committee thought that it might help attract workers from the left-wing.[6] Some members, on the other hand, may have sincerely consider themselves ‘socialists’, but only due to their frustration with their corporate competitors,[7] whom they were more interested in reforming than abolishing.
