Farmers' Party (Denmark)

[3] The new name was inspired by agrarian parties in other Nordic countries, such as the Farmers' League in Sweden.

[4] In May 1940 the party, LS and DNSAP formed an alliance, and tried to topple the coalition government.

In the June 1939 election the groups created a common front, and worked for the creation of a National Socialist constitution.

During the war and occupation, the political support for the party dwindled, especially after 29 August 1943.

[3] In 1948 Axel Hartel, former MP of the party, was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment, the harshest punishment for political collaboration meted out after the war.
