DNSAP Denmark Nazi Party Danish Regiment Nordland Finland Waffen SS Recruitment Labels Set of 10

Set of 10 vintage copies of a particularly interesting Danish military recruitment propaganda label.

Text reads:

“Kæmp for FINLAND og DANMARKS Fremtid – Ind i Regiment Nordland”

Approximate translation:

“Fight for Finland and Denmark’s Future – Join Regiment Nordland.”

The labels also give a Copenhagen recruiting address at Rosenvaengets Allé 32, Kbhvn. Ø.

This design reflects the recruitment of Scandinavian volunteers for German-led formations during WWII and is especially interesting to collectors studying Danish collaboration and foreign volunteers.

The DNSAP — Danmarks Nationalsocialistiske Arbejderparti (National Socialist Workers’ Party of Denmark) — was founded on November 16, 1930. It was modeled closely on Germany’s NSDAP, adopting much of its political program, organizational structure, imagery, rhetoric, and Führer principle. Its ideology included Danish ultranationalism, anti-parliamentarianism, antisemitism and National Socialism.

The party was initially led by Cay Lembcke (1885–1965). Lembcke was displaced in 1933 by physician Frits Clausen (1893–1947), who became the best-known leader of the Danish Nazi movement. Under Clausen, the DNSAP developed its strongest support in southern Jutland. In Denmark’s 1939 parliamentary election, the party received approximately 31,000 votes and three seats in the Folketing, but it never became a dominant Danish political force.

During the German occupation of Denmark beginning in 1940, the DNSAP supported the occupation and attempted unsuccessfully to obtain greater political power. The movement also became associated with recruitment of Danish volunteers for German military service, including the Waffen-SS and Frikorps Danmark. The party collapsed with the end of the occupation in 1945.

These labels are therefore interesting pieces for studying Danish political propaganda, collaboration, Scandinavian National Socialism, WWII volunteer recruitment, and the visual culture of extremist political movements in 1930s–40s Europe.
