  • In January 1920 Hitler established a new permanent office for the Party in Munich, run by Rudolf Schussler. Meetings were now better organised and advertised and party funds collected more efficiently
  • Hitler also suggested a new name for the Party to make it appeal to as many different groups as possible, so the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) was born
  • Hitler came up with the swastika logo and the straight-armed party salute
  • By December 1920, increased membership allowed enough funds to buy their own newspaper, the Volkischer Beobachter (People’s Observer). Its circulation increased within a year from 11000 copies to 17000.
