Article
Anton Drexler (13 June 1884 – 24 February 1942) was a German far-right political agitator for the Völkisch movement in the 1920s. He founded the German Workers' Party (DAP), the pan-German and antisemitic antecedent of the Nazi Party (NSDAP). Drexler mentored his successor in the NSDAP, Adolf Hitler, during his early years in politics. Hitler ousted him as party chair during a power dispute in 1921, ending Drexler's tenure as a Nazi insider and paving the way for Hitler's domination of the party.
