Thule Society

The Thule-Gesellschaft (Thule Society) was founded in 1918 by Rudolf von Sebottendorff. Its original Name was "Studiengruppe für germanisches Altertum" (Study Group for German Antiquity), but it soon started to disseminate anti-republican and antisemitic publicity. It was instrumental in the foundation of the Deutsche Arbeiter-Partei (German Workers Party) which later became the NSDAP (Nazi Party). It had members from the top echelons of the Party, including Rudolf Hess and Alfred Rosenberg, though not Adolf Hitler. Its press organ was the Münchener Beobachter (Munich Observer[?]) which later became the Võlkischer Beobachter (People's Observer[?]).
