German workers youth
The German Workers' Youth (DAJ) was a neo-Nazi organization.
history
The DAJ was founded in 1982 by a 20-year-old former member of the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD) in Berlin and was first noticed publicly in the summer of 1982. It was made up of members of the Wiking Youth , former members of the NPD and former members of the banned People's Socialist Movement in Germany / Labor Party . The members of the group conducted paramilitary exercises. When 17 members of the group were searched on December 8, 1982, the police found weapons, uniforms and neo-Nazi literature. On April 17, 1983, an eight-member group of activists equipped with batons and knives, including four supporters of the DAJ, attacked a squat in Berlin-Kreuzberg. The DAJ was dissolved in 1983 as part of criminal prosecution. In 1984 the founder was convicted because, in the opinion of the court, he had founded a successor organization to the NSDAP with the DAJ and thus violated Allied law .
Members of the group later organized themselves into the Freie Umschau association , which published a magazine of the same name. Wolfram Nahrath was chairman of the association in 1988.
