The project is dealing with the NSDAP party members in the years 1925 to 1945. In 2012 a sample of 9.000 new party members for the years 1934 to 1945 was drawn from the so-called NSDAP master file located in the national archives in Berlin. In conjunction with an earlier drawn large sample of NSDAP members for the years 1925 to 1933 comprising more than 40.000 party members this sample represents a unique treasure of historically relevant data. To be analyzed in a theoretically and historically meaningful way this data still needs extensive cleaning and editing, that is the standardization and categorization of more than 2.000 different occupational labels, furthermore the correction and synchronization of the names of birthplaces, places of residence, names of party chapters and so on with data from my earlier Weimar election data project. This synchronization helps to win contextual data which is not included in the NSDAP master file, such as the confessional, economic and social context of localities where the party members grew up, lived and worked. Finally data errors need to be corrected such as transcription errors in regard to the eight digit party numbers, to birth dates, dates of entry, dates of leaving the party and reentering it and so on. In addition very time consuming completion work has to be done in regard to the more than 1.100 party members from the Sudetenland and the more than 1.000 party members from Austria. Regarding the data on Sudetenland party members it is to my knowledge the very first sample ever drawn from this regional group. So far there exist, again according to my knowledge, no scientific publications and absolutely no machine readable contextual data on the Sudetenland NSDAP party members. With the possible exception of three Austria data sets which Gerhard Botz drew in the late 70s of the last century our data set is worldwide by far the most encompassing since it contains practically all information contained on the NSDAP master file cards. After suitable treatment our sample will be a most informative data source on the NSDAP rank and file. Substantial analysis will be directed towards the regional distribution, the occupational composition, the age and gender of the NSDAP party members, the length of party membership, the confessional context of the place of birth and residence of party members, their economic structure, unemployment rate at different points in time etc. Our data thus will permit answers to questions which so far could only be raised but not be answered on a national level. In this respect the project I'm applying for is not only innovative but unique. It is aimed to represent a parallel project to my earlier research on Weimar elections and the voters of the NSDAP. This project completed since long was also in part financed by the DFG.

该项目涉及1925年至1945年的NSDAP党员。2012年，从位于柏林的国家档案馆的所谓NSDAP主文件中抽取了1934年至1945年的9000名新党员的样本。结合早先绘制的1925年至1933年NSDAP成员的大样本，包括40.000多名党员，这个样本代表了历史相关数据的独特宝藏。为了以一种理论上和历史上有意义的方式进行分析，这些数据仍然需要进行广泛的清理和编辑，即对2000多个不同职业标签进行标准化和分类，此外，还需要将出生地、居住地、党部名称等与我早期魏玛选举数据项目的数据进行校正和同步。这种同步有助于获得不包括在NSDAP主文件中的背景数据，例如党员成长、生活和工作的地方的忏悔、经济和社会背景。最后，还需要纠正数据错误，如8位数的党号、出生日期、入党日期、离党和重新入党日期等方面的抄写错误。此外，还需要对苏台德地区的1100多名党员和奥地利的1000多名党员进行非常耗时的填写工作。关于苏台德地区党员的数据，据我所知，这是有史以来从该地区群体中抽取的第一个样本。据我所知，到目前为止，还没有关于苏台德地区NSDAP党员的科学出版物和绝对没有机器可读的上下文数据。可能除了三个奥地利的数据集，其中格哈德博茨提请在70年代末的最后世纪，我们的数据集是世界范围内迄今为止最包罗万象的，因为它包含了几乎所有的信息所载的NSDAP主文件卡。经过适当的处理后，我们的样本将成为NSDAP等级和文件中最具信息性的数据来源。实质性分析将针对国家社会民主党党员的地区分布、职业构成、年龄和性别、党员的年限、党员出生地和居住地的宗教背景、他们的经济结构、因此，我们的数据将有助于回答迄今为止只能提出但无法回答的问题。国家层面在这方面，我申请的项目不仅是创新的，而且是独特的。它的目的是代表一个平行的项目，我以前的研究魏玛选举和NSDAP的选民。这个项目完成很久了，也有一部分是由DFG资助的。
