German National Association of Commercial Employees


The German National Association of Commercial Employees (or "German National Union of Commercial Employees"; German: Deutschnationaler Handlungsgehilfen-Verband, DHV) was a German nationalist and anti-Semitic labour union in Germany. It was directed against Social democracy, had an anti-democratic and anti-liberal ideology, and supported the concept of a conservative revolution. It promoted the interests of the merchant class. To prevent the spread of social democratic thoughts, it propagated patriotic and völkisch mentality. It is considered a proto-fascist or pre-fascist movement. It existed between 1893 and 1933. By 1914 it had 160,000 members, by 1932 it had over 400,000 members. It cooperated with the Nazi Party and sought to unite Nazism and political Catholicism together.
