Join the roomThe Deutschvölkischer Schutz- und Trutzbund was the largest and the most active antisemitic federation in Germany after the First World War. It formed a significant part of the Völkisch movement during the Weimar Republic (1918–1933), whose democratic parliamentary system it unilaterally rejected. Its publishing arm issued books that greatly influenced the opinions of Nazi Party leaders such as Heinrich Himmler. The organisation was banned in 1922 following the enactment of the Law for the Protection of the Republic and it faded away, with many of its members eventually joining the Nazi Party.
