I don't think the DAP grew up to "Bavaria's most powerful political force of 70,000 members". It was a party of 5 men. Any sources for that statement? (NSDAP became that later.)
NAZI is an acronym?--U.U. 07:18, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)
- Nazi isn't really an acronym in the English sense. It was formed by taking the first syllables from the name of the party (Nationalsozialistische). That method is fairly common in Germany and Russia, as far as I know. Deleuze 11:40, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Importance of being strictly factual and professional on this issue
editAlthough this article by-and-large does well, it is not appropriate to make value judgments which might be interpreted by readers as bias.
It is not appropriate to quote the word patriotic. If they were not patriotic, explain. If they were, then do not denegrate someone else's feelings as being invalid. That's what the Nazis themselves did.
Statements such as "They were getting restless" and "Not all members were notified either" and "Adolf Hitler was secretive about many things" are suitable for an essay, or a conversation, but not formal writing in an encyclopedia. There are three problems with the statements: first, they are open to question, but have not been cited; second, they put a "spin" on events that suggest the writer is writing from their imagination about what occurred rather than from a printed source; third, the causality is not clearly established. For example, being "restless" does not imply any specific action will take place -- maybe the boys could have gone out for a few drinks. Being "restless" would not necessarily result in a putsch. (Whereas threatening to leave the movement, say, unless public action was taken, would have a more direct cause-and-effect relationship.)
It's exceptionally important to be clear and stick to facts regarding Nazi issues, to avoid raising unwarranted emotional responses that might feed the very irrationality they, themselves represented.

Other "Kampfbünde (Kampfbunds)"
editWhy do you just relate to those nazi kampfbunds? There are actaully a lot more just because its a more general german term. E.g. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kampfbund_Deutscher_Sozialisten (german link - i dont know english sources). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.217.160.154 (talk) 08:03, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
Dates
editIn the September_1923 article we can read the date of september 25 for the formation of the Kampfbund, but here we read september 30. Which of them is correct? Theklan (talk) 17:27, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
