Ulrich Graf
Shortly after the First World War, Graf became a member of the German Workers' Party (DAP). Later, the DAP was renamed the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP; Nazi Party) and taken over by Adolf Hitler. Founded in 1920, the "Sturmabteilung" (SA) was the first of many paramilitary protection squads that worked to protect Nazi officials. These storm troopers, outfitted in brown uniforms, were initially charged with the duty of keeping order at Nazi Party meetings. They soon expanded their role to include disruption of rival political party's functions. Graf was an early member of the SA. In 1921, he became member number 2882 of the Nazi Party.
German African Party
The German African Party was created on February 8, 1939 by Martin Maier as a result of political tensions within a rightist conservative party named "Deutscher Südwest-Bund (DSWB)" (or “German Southwest Union”), currently disappeared as well. Like the German Nazi Party "(National-Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei -NSDAP-", or “National-Socialist Party of the German Workers”), all of these parties were overtly racist, as they only accepted members with German ancestry.
