TheBund Deutscher Osten (BDO; English: "Federation of the German East") was an anti-PolishGerman Nazi organisation founded on 26 May 1933. The organisation was supported by theNazi Party. The BDO was a national socialist version of theGerman Eastern Marches Society, which was closed down by the Nazis in 1934. It promulgated the idea of the "German East", anirredentist concept that attempted to deny the very existence of Poland and the Polish people's right to live there.
TheReichsleiter of the Bund Deutscher Osten between 1933 and 1937 wasTheodor Oberländer.[1][2] In May 1933, whenPassau founded its own association, school superintendentWilhelm Leidl became its leader.[3]
