Abstract
In the 1930s, a political activist of Austrian origin attempted to unify people of German nationality under the banner of National Socialism. Invoking the ‘Volksgemeinschaft’, this self-proclaimed leader stressed the need to overcome class and political divisions. His party played on social resentments while also heightening the racial danger posed by Slavs and Jews. Above all, this movement touted its ability to transcend regional infighting by welding the nation together. This party for National Socialism, however, ultimately failed to become the one party to encompass all Germans living in the state. The party was the Young German Party for Poland, and its leader was the engineer Rudolf Wiesner.
