Greater German national community
The Großdeutsche Volksgemeinschaft (GVG) was one of the substitute organizations for the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) , which was banned after the failure of the Hitler putsch in November 1923 . It was founded by Alfred Rosenberg and Hans Jacob at the beginning of January 1924 on the instructions of Adolf Hitler .
According to a report by the Munich Police Department, the GVG was entered in the register of associations on January 15, 1924, with the later Reichsleiter Philipp Bouhler acting as managing director . Formally previously unknown NSDAP members acted as leaders, such as the first chairmen Max Harbauer and Andreas Reuter. Rather insignificant in the first few months, the GVG became more attractive for the dispersed NSDAP supporters in the spring of 1924 thanks to Julius Streicher and Hermann Esser . Other prominent members of the GVG were Artur Dinter , Wilhelm Frick , Gottfried Feder , Hermann Kriebel and Rudolf Buttmann .
In competition with the GVG, the Völkische Block in Bavaria was chaired by Alexander Glaser , with whom the GVG made tactical agreements for the candidate list for the Bavarian state election .
After Hitler had re-established the NSDAP on February 27, 1925, the GVG dissolved on March 12; almost all of its members joined the NSDAP.
