Der schweizer Frontenfrühling und die Nationale Front
The Swiss Front Spring and the National Front

Summary/Abstract: In the early thirties a lot of far-right political groups and parties appeared in Switzerland, the National Front was the most determinative one of them. In the German speaking parts of Switzerland where these far-right groups influenced by the Italian fascism and German national-socialism, the elements of the ideologies where often mixed. Because of the multiplicity of these political groups only three of the them will be presented in the Study: the Homeland defence (Heimatwehr), the Swiss Fascist Movement (Schweizer Faschistische Bewegung), and the biggest and strongest one, which had the most followers, the National Front (Nationale Front). The fact that these far-right groups existed in Switzerland between the two World wars shows us that fascism and national-socialism had such a wide and strong reach, that even in the neutral Switzerland it blossomed the political far-right out.
