Chapter 5 The social characteristics of the membership and leadership of the Nazi Party, 1925–1933 After 9 November 1923 the Nazi Party was banned for the first time throughout Germany, though in Thuringia the ban lasted only briefly and was lifted as early as 3 March 1924. One option not open to Hitler, therefore, on his release on 20 December 1924 from Landsberg prison, where he had served less than a year of a five-year sentence for treason imposed on him in the spring of 1924, was to re-found the Nazi Party.

The breakdown of the membership indicates that in its formative phase of development the Nazi Party attracted a socially mixed following in Munich.
In the 1925 census the cottage industry workers were included under ‘independents’, but in the 1933 census they were included in the ‘workers’ category. ‘Domestic employees’ were placed under neither the ‘workers’ nor ‘employees’ category in 1925, but counted separately, as they were again in 1933, though by then they were deemed to be partly ‘blue-collar workers’ and partly ‘white-collar employees’. 1 per cent [103: 51]. Of the 21,604 blue-collar workers – all but a handful of whom were male – who joined the Nazi Party between 1925 and 1933 in various regions of Germany analysed by Muhlberger, ¨ only two gave Heimarbeiter as their occupation [103: 66].
