The Party of Good Germans (short name: PdgD) was a right-wing extremist small German party .

history

The party was founded on June 7, 1953 by August Unger in Plaidt . Unger had been a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party since early 1933 and was mayor of Plaidt from March 1933. The party distanced itself from National Socialism , but represented nationalist positions and the Führer principle . Among other things, the party demanded that the most important positions in the state should be filled with the best Germans, "to whom the unwritten moral law of all times is the most sacred obligation in their actions." Unger called himself - according to a report by the Hamburger Abendblatt on Rhineland - Palatinate state election 1955 - "Adolf II". For the election campaigns, the former Nazi commercial artist and caricaturist Hans Herbert Schweitzer created the posters.

Among other things, the party demanded immediate reunification , the "containment of Bolshevism " and the exit from NATO . She also campaigned for the abolition of sales tax and other consumption taxes . State companies should be privatized.

The party took part in the 1953 federal election with direct candidates (a state list in Rhineland-Palatinate was not permitted) and received 654 votes. In the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate in 1955 , it received 3,092 votes, which corresponded to a share of the vote of 0.20%. In the federal election in 1957 , the party ran with only direct candidates and got 356 votes. Unger sat for the PdgD in Plaidt's municipal council.

Unger died in mid-1959. The party was dissolved.
