Nazi Party
"Deutsche Gemeinschaft" was a branch of the Nazi Party founded in 1919, created for Germans with "Volksdeutsche" status. It is not to be confused with the post-war right-wing "", which was founded in 1949.
Luxembourgish collaboration with Nazi Germany
Apart from the VdB, the Nazis tried to cover Luxembourg with a net of political, social and cultural organisations. It became apparent that the VdB, being a mass organisation, was not suitable for the formation of a collaborationist elite, and so in September 1941 a Luxembourgish section of the Nazi party was founded, which had grown to 4,000 members by the end of the war. Other Nazi organisations such as the Hitler Youth, the "Bund Deutscher Mädel", the "Winterhilfswerk", the "NS-Frauenschaft" and the "Deutsche Arbeitsfront" were also introduced in Luxembourg. These organisations subjected the country to a wave of propaganda, which aimed to bring the population "back into the [German] Empire" ("Heim ins Reich"). This propaganda was not restricted to a few large-scale public events, but attempted to reach the population day in, day out.
