Anton DREXLER
Anton Drexler was a German politician and the founder of the German Workers' Party, which later became the Nazi Party. He was born in Munich, Bavaria, in 1884. Drexler served in the German Army during World War I and was wounded in action. After the war, he became involved in politics and founded the German Workers' Party in 1919. The party's platform was based on anti-Semitism, anti-communism, and nationalism. In 1920, Adolf Hitler joined the party and quickly became its leader. Drexler remained a member of the party, but he was never a close ally of Hitler. He eventually left the party in 1923 and died in 1942.
