Application to join NSDAP (NSDAP Antrag) - the first step in becoming the NSDAP Party member (Parteigenosse). Due to the avalanche of applications since 1933 admission was very selective. According to Adolf himself, not more than 10% of adult population should ever be worthy the Party membership. Total dedication to the cause and impeccable reputation was required. Upon joining, not just membership dues, but lots of time had to be spent volunteering for various Party-related activities and chores.
Application would be filed at the Ortsgruppe level and upon successful background and quota verification, the lucky person would join the ranks of NSDAP. Upon that occasion, a membership card would be issued and if membership continued uninterrupted for 2 years, NSDAP Membership Book would replace the card. Both are available from Krause Papierwerke to complete your membership documentation (see NSDAP Collection).
The document can be ordered blank or completely filled out and stamped. For filled out version please provide:
- First and last name
- Address (street, town)
- Profession
- Place and date of birth
- Optionally amount of Reichs-Marks donation you include with the application
- Date of application - I will match application number with the date.
