Collection NSDAP Auslandsorganisation Chile

The NSDAP-Auslandsorganisation Chile was founded in 1931 and existed until 1945. The NSDAP-Auslandsorganisation Chile was one of the foreign organizations of the National Socialist Party, the NSDAP/AO. Citizens of the German Reich living in foreign countries organized themselves in the NSDAP/AO. The organization was especially occupied with the ideological indoctrination of its members. The collection's provenance is unclear. A document accompanying the collection attests that the records were purchased in the region around Valdivia in 1989 or 1990. The previous owner apparently disposed of the records. The documents were then copied and brought to Germany. They are part of a larger collection that wasn't completely acquired by the Fritz Bauer Institute. The collection NSDAP-Auslandsorganisation Chile covers after description, demetallization, and filing ten archival units with a total extent of 0.3 running meters. The processor Sophia Steinmetz completely reorganized the holding during indexing in October 2021. The archives group is now structured in two sections: "press" ("Presse") and "organization" ("Organisation"). The section "press" ("Presse") contains periodicals and magazines associated with the "Movimiento Revolucionario Nacional Socialista". The section "organization" ("Organisation") consists of records regarding the general administration and organization of the NSDAP-Auslandsorganisation Chile. It also covers documents regarding the organization's campaigns and lawsuits against the organization.
