Abstract
WHERE has been a notable lack of interest in the political activity of Conservatives during the early years of the Weimar Republic, except in areas where possible antecedents for nazism can be sought. One result of this neglect has been the tendency in most historical surveys, and even many monographs, to describe the extreme rightwing party that emerged after the November revolution as essentially a party of Junkers, remnants of Prussian Conservatives and other miscellaneous groups. By describing the German National People's party (DNVP) in this way, observers are using the terms of the party's opponents, making it difficult to examine the position of constituent groups in the new party, and obstructing attempts to view the new party as indeed something new.2
