TheGerman National Socialist Workers' Party (German:Deutsche Nationalsozialistische Arbeiterpartei,DNSAP,Czech:Německá národně socialistická strana dělnická) was aprotofascist party ofGermans inCzechoslovakia, successor of theGerman Workers' Party (DAP) fromAustria-Hungary. It was founded in November 1919 inDuchcov (German:Dux). The most crucial party activists wereHans Knirsch,Hans Krebs, Adam Fahrner,Rudolf Jung and Josef Patzel. In May 1932, it had 1,024 local chapters with 61,000 members.^[6]

Unlike the successive sister party in Austria, which only played a marginal role in Austrian politics, the Czechoslovak branch attracted a considerable number of votes because of the largeSudeten German minority in Czechoslovakia. In elections, it worked together with theDeutsche Nationalpartei (DNP). The party advocated cultural and territorial autonomy and anti-clericalism. It also showedanti-semitic tendencies.^[7] It organized fascist militiaVolkssport.^[8][9] In October 1933, the Czechoslovak government banned it for its anti-state activities.^[6] It was officially dissolved on 11 November 1933. DNSAP was succeeded by theSudeten German Party.
