Thomas Weber, professor at the University of Aberdeen, has discovered a document from 1919, where it becomes known that the German Socialist Party had rejected Hitler, telling him he did not want him in the party, and did not want him writing to their newspaper.
Weber said that the story would have flowed quite differently if Hitler's membership had been accepted. Although also far-right, the German socialist party at the time was larger and more successful than the Nazi party. Hitler could have taken on a smaller role, and “would never have come to power”.
Hitler joined them and became their leader in 1921. While the party that refused it was extinguished the following year. According to the historian in question “Hitler's obsession against the German socialist party was influenced by that rejection of 1919”.
