The German Socialist Party - The Brown House

In 19 30, the party purchased a hundred year old urban villa in munich and converted it into a new arty headquarters. The brown house was so splendid that it drew criticism from left leaning party members who thought that hitler and the n s d a p were selling out. After the party's stunning gains in the 19 30 election, the wealthy and powerful in germany began to take an interest in the movement. Membership in the party itself mushroomed from 380 thousand dues paying members as of the 1930 election to over 800 thousand by the end of 19 31.
