The German African Party (DAP) was a small German anti- Nazi - party that during the 1930s until the 1950s in the former South-West Africa - now Namibia was -.

The German African Party was founded on February 8, 1939 by the party leader Martin Maier due to political tensions within the right-wing conservative German Southwest Federation (DSWB).

The anti-National Socialism engagement was supported among other things by so-called "freedom letters"; the party was nevertheless - similar to the ethnic German group - only open to residents of South West Africa of German origin.
