  National Socialist German Workers Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Socialist German Workers Party ( German : Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei), better known as the NSDAP or the Nazi Party was a political party that was led to power in Germany by Adolf Hitler in 1933.
The evolution of the party, during this era, is an integral part of the decline of the Weimar State.
By 1923, the Nazi party and the SA stormtroopers were considered almost one and the same with the first Nazi paramilitary ranks, those being the ranks and insignia of the Sturmabteilung, in use.

 Centre Party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Centre Party ( Zentrum) was a Catholic political party in Germany during the Kaiserreich and the Weimar Republic.
Although the party supported the government upon the outbreak of World War I, many of the leaders of its left wing, particularly Matthias Erzberger, came to support a negotiated settlement, and Erzberger was key in the passage of the Reichstag Peace Resolution of 1917.
The Centre Party, whose pragmatic principles generally left it open to supporting either a monarchical or republican form of government, proved one of the mainstays of the Weimar Republic participating in every Weimar government between 1919 and 1932, despite the defection of its Bavarian wing in 1919 to form the Bavarian People's Party.

Although the Centre of Alsace-Lorraine joined the Centre in the Reichstag, various causes prevented a complete understanding being arrived at, especially because the Centre Party in the Reichstag was opposed to the particularistic and separationist ideals of a portion of the Centre of Alsace-Lorraine.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ernst Maria Lieber
From 1870 to 1878 the members of the new party were mostly engaged in the great battle for the interests of the Church.
It is to Lieber's credit that he grasped this idea fully and that he induced his party, and others in the Reichstag, to forget their differences and finish this great work in union with the Government.
He was a brave German citizen, unselfish, yet eager for action, a true Catholic Christian both in principle and in conduct.
