Heinrich Claß

Heinrich Claß (February 29, 1868 – April 16, 1953) was a German right-wing politician, a Pan-Germanist, an anti-Semite and a "rabid racialist".

He came into sharp conflict with Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg, especially during the Agadir Crisis in 1911, and the League showed its radical positions.

From the "hereditary hostility" to France and a "moral inferiority" of England, Claß advocated a speedy war, which was to lead the German Reich to "world power" and territorial expansion.

[2] Also in 1911, he was one of the founding members of the Deutscher Wehrverein [de] (German Army Society), which tried to push the armament of Germany.

Claß is commonly known for his books about far-right policy that were written under the pseudonym Daniel Frymann or Einhart.
