Völkisch-Social Bloc

The Völkisch-Social Bloc ("Völkisch-Sozialer Block" or "Völkisch-Sozialer-Block" or "VSB" or "V-S-B") was a right-wing electoral alliance in post World War I Germany. Its philosophy was loosely aligned with that of the NSDAP (Nazi Party).[1]

Artur Dinter was elected in 1924 to the Thuringian Landtag as a representative of the VSB.

Rudolf Jordan was active as a speaker for the VSB by 1924, though he was not a member. Jordan later joined the Nazi Party and eventually became a Gauleiter.

Notes

Extensive discussion of the VSB and its role, as well as the roles of associated political parties (including the Nazis), in early 1920s German politics, can be found in David Jablonsky's work The Nazi Party in Dissolution: Hitler and the Verbotzeit, 1923-1925 (Routledge, 1989, ISBN 0714633224, 9780714633220).

gollark: Sounds bad. I am glad I don't use these.

gollark: What even are "streaks"? Some weird thing where you're encouraged to send messages back and forth a lot?

gollark: Can you somehow block all the particularly petition-sendy ones without notifying them?
