Volkssozialistische Bewegung Deutschlands/Partei der Arbeit (VSBD/PdA or People's Socialist Movement of Germany/Labour Party) was a German Neo-Nazi group led by Friedhelm Busse. They used a stylized eagle on a shield bearing a celtic cross as well as the wolfsangel as their party emblems.
At a time when the far right in Germany was distancing itself from mainstream Nazism the VSBD/PdA took the lead by supporting the more Socialist-leaning version of Nazism Strasserism.[1] The Junge Front (Young Front), a youth movement attached to the party, was also organised.[2]
Despite its name, the movement was not a registered party, which allowed the German Foreign Minister to directly ban it in 1982. Yet, soon afterwards, many of its former members founded the Nationalist Front, which can be seen as a successor to the VSBD/PdA.
