The
General Dutch Fascist League (in Dutch Algemeene Nederlandsche Fascisten
Bond) was a minor Dutch
fascist party founded in 1932. The party
sought to create a
volksfascisme, although they failed to
fully define this aim and were considered closer to
Mussolini than
Hitler despite their rhetoric. The party failed
to gain support in the 1932 elections and faded. The group then
entered into a 'corporative concentration' with the followers of
Alfred Haighton and the
National Union, although leader
Jan Baars did not get on with
Carel Gerretson, the leader of this new
group and so quit the ANFB. As a consequence the ANFB floundered
without its leader and disappeared.
The
Black Front,
represented something of a revival of the ANFB, albeit on more
Catholic lines.
