Eidgenössische Sammlung (German; literally "Confederate Collection") was one of several local names of aSwiss political party, founded in 1940 byRobert Tobler as a successor to the recently dissolvedNational Front.[1][2]
The party demanded an adjustment in Swiss policy to favour theAxis powers. This was particularly important as, after June 1940, the country was surrounded byfascist andNazi states. It was open in its loyalty towardsNazi Germany.[3]
TheEidgenössiche Sammlung was closely supervised by the state because of its origins and so could not develop freely. In 1943, the police finally cracked down on the group and it was outlawed along with all of its sub-organisations as part of a wider government initiative against the National Front and its offshoots.[2]
