Was the Nationalists Socialists Party (the Nazis) an original party? No.
Around January of 1919, the German Worker's Party came to exist in Bavaria, and lasted approximately thirteen months. As they dissolved.....their membership blended into the new Nazi Party.
Were the German Worker's Party an original party? No.
Around September of 1917....the German Fatherland Party came to exist....out of Bavaria and it lasted roughly fourteen months. It's safe to say that the Fatherland Party was made of up of various factions (probably a minimum of ten splinter groups)....which some were anti-Semitic and some were even Monarchistic in nature. At some point in 1918, historians figure that roughly a million Germans were participating with the Fatherland Party. They peaked out by the end of 1918.
Why both parties picked up members rapidly, and then dissolved? Typically, you can't get mass movements into a turbo-like long-term situation....without certain elements. One of those elements is a clear leader or speaker for the party. In the case of both the Worker's Party and the Fatherland Party....they never had a Hitler character as a speaker.
