NSDAP in DSWA

[calaski8123]

Does anyone know of any sources, articles, books, records, photos etc of the NSDAP in DSWA? I have a photo CD of DSWA with a few group photos with the swastika flag. I'm curious about the support the party got in the colony.

I had family in the Schutztruppe who remained in the colony after WWI and worked for the diamond companies. I'd be curious to know what the likelihood was that he would have been a party member given his history and employment. He eventually moved to Johannesburg and died in 1951.

Hi Jim,

This is a sensitive issue in Germany and under threat of punishment. This applies also to the handling
with articles, books and records. Maybe you find here some photos from this time period in formally DSWA.

Wish you luck and hope others can help you more.

Thank you for the link. I heard about this archive but never searched it before. I know the stigma in Germany however that doesn't apply to educational research. I'm just curious if the pressure to join the party was as strong in the colony as it would have been in Germany. I know the party was outlawed in I think 1934, but I'd like to know what the temperament was with the German Südwesters.
