TheNational Socialist German Students' Union (German:Nationalsozialistischer Deutscher Studentenbund, abbreviatedNSDStB) was founded in 1926 as a division of theNazi Party with the mission of integrating University-level education and academic life within the framework of theNazi worldview. Organized (as with other departments of the Nazi Party) strictly in accord with theFührerprinzip (or "leader principle") as well as the principle ofMachtdistanz (or "power distance"), the NSDStB housed its members in so-calledKameradschaftshäusern (or "Fellowship Houses"), and (from 1930) had its members decked out in classic brown shirts and its own distinctiveSwastika emblems.
After Germany's defeat in World War II, the Nazi Party along with its divisions and affiliated organisations were declared "criminal organizations" and banned by theAllied Control Council on October 10, 1945.[1]
