A year later, the party published itsprogram: Twenty-five points among them were the rejection of the Treaty of Versailles, the desire for unity with Austria in "Greater Germany" and a strong central government, and the book will Germany only for "real" Germans.
This party had not come over, probably, and it shows in the large number of parties with similar beliefs of the time, without the accession of Hitler idealistic and giftedorator, nor without the support of economic and financial powers who supported his anticommunist campaign.
