East Germany
Index
The NDPD was originally established as an instrument of
communist influence over two specific segments of the population
previously excluded from political life: discharged German
servicemen and the 2 million members of the National Socialist
German Workers' Party (Nazis) in East Germany. The NDPD's appeal
was based on nationalism and patriotism, and its principal goals
were to develop support for the security services and to recruit
experienced personnel to serve in that capacity. In 1987 Heinrich
Homan continued to chair the party, a position he has held since
November 1972. Homan has served as a deputy in the People's
Chamber and as a member of the Presidium of the National Front.
