TheGeneral Dutch Fascist League (Dutch:Algemeene Nederlandsche Fascisten Bond, ANFB) was a Dutchfascist party. It was founded on 29 June 1932 and dissolved in 1934. The leader of ANFB wasJan Baars, a merchant from Amsterdam.
ANFB won 17,157 votes in thegeneral elections of 1933, 0.46% of the total. This was insufficient for a seat in parliament.
ANFB then entered into a 'corporative concentration' with the followers ofAlfred Haighton and theNational Union.Jan Baars did not get on withCarel Gerretson (the leader ofNational Union), therefore Baars quit ANFB. Consequently, ANFB floundered without its leader and disappeared.[2]
Albert Levy Themans led the Amsterdam branch of the General Dutch Fascist League. Levy Themans was criticized by Jewish supporters of theSocial Democratic Workers' Party for his limited political knowledge.[3][4] As Levy Themans pointed out, the General Dutch Fascist League was not antisemitic.[3]Jan Baars later joined the resistance against theNazi occupation of the Netherlands.
