The Nazi Party Program [Section 6 of Nietzsche and the Nazis]
[This is Section 6 of Nietzsche and the Nazis.]
Part 3. National Socialist Philosophy
6. The Nazi Party Program
The Nazi Party grew out of the D.A.P., the German Workers’ Party. Its goal according to one of its founders, Gottfried Feder, “was to reconcile nationalism and socialism.” 
It was a lecture by Feder in 1919 that attracted Adolf Hitler to the party. Within a year the party changed its name in order to have a name that expressed more accurately its core principles: The new name was the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. At a rally in Munich in 1920 involving over 2,000 participants, the party announced its platform—a twenty-five point program.[9] The main authors of the program were Feder, Adolf Hitler, and a third man, Anton Drexler. To understand what National Socialism stood for, the main points of the Program are worth looking at more closely.
