The German Social Union (German: Deutsch-Soziale Union, DSU) was a small nationalist political party founded in West Germany in 1956 by Otto Strasser, a dissident former Nazi and the founder of the Black Front. The party sought to revive Strasser’s unique brand of "German socialism"—a fusion of nationalism and anti-capitalism, distinct from Adolf Hitler’s ideology. The DSU failed to gain mass support and dissolved in 1962.
