Danish People's Party (1941–43)

The Danish People's Party was a Danish party that existed in 1941 to 1943 during the German occupation of Denmark. It brought together members of Conservatives, Social Democrats, Danmarks Retsforbund and the Danish National Socialist Workers' Party ( DNSAP ). She remained politically insignificant.

The Danish People's Party called for a corporate state and represented fascist ideas. It defined itself as a Danish- patriotic party and attacked Frits Clausen DNSAP for their pro- German attitude. After the Second World War, some of its founders, however, were tried and convicted for treason itself.

The party was founded on March 1, 1941. Chairman Victor was first Pürschel, to 1938 and from 1922 to 1928 member of the Conservative party leader in the Danish Parliament. Because the Danish People's Party under its organization leader Wilfred Petersen ( previously head of the Nazi Dansk Socialistisk Parti ) are increasingly hosted Nazi and anti-Semitic, left Pürschel and most other leading members of the party already again in the course of 1941. To achieve parliamentary representation, 1941 was a deputy of the DNSAP been induced by bribery to the party crossing. He left the party in 1943, which she was not admitted to the general election on 23 March 1943. Consequently, the Danish People's Party called on its supporters to boycott the election.

Today's Danish People's Party was founded in 1995 and has no connection to the former party of the same name.
