National Socialist Party


 * "Totalitarian fanatics bent on world conquest. The Borg of their day...no offense."
 * "None taken."
 * - Tom Paris, Seven of Nine

Nazi is an abbreviated form of the German word Nationalsozialist, originally used for supporters of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (abbreviated NSDAP, and translated into English as National Socialist German Workers ' Party. The Nazi Party existed in Germany on Earth in the early 20th century.  During World War II, Allied powers used the term to generally encompass all German military forces.

The Nazi Party grew to dominate the government, with power-mad dictator Adolf Hitler rising to lead the country. During the 1930s and 1940s, the Nazi Party rose to become a feared symbol of power and were main antagonists of World War II. Autocracy, hatred and oppression dominated Germany and conquered nations during their reign in power. Their main goals were the conquest of other nations, brutality towards those who did not agree with their goals, and the intolerance of anything or anyone they deemed outside the norm. They displayed this through the execution and enslavement of many minority groups, including mentally- and physically-ill, Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, dissenters, prisoners of war and many other groups in concentration camps and by other means. Famous American author Kurt Vonnegut was held prisoner of war by the Nazis and survived the bombing of Dresden during this time.

Symbols and rituals, such as the swastika and "heiling" (respectively), were commonplace in Nazi philosophy. The "Heil" acted as a greeting, derived from a form of formal greeting used in the Roman Empire. The regime also spawned a wide range of medals and awards, which they distributed. Some of these medals and awards, such as the Iron Cross, still remained fairly well-known centuries after the Nazis' defeat in 1945.

Ekos and Zeon

After World War II's end, resulting in abolishment of the Nazis and their propoganda, neo-Nazi groups would emerge at later points in history from insular populaces. Human scientist John Gill started one such neo-Nazi organization on the planet Ekos as an unauthorized social experiment. 

The Temporal Cold War

 * See, and  for more information.

In an alternate timeline created through the Temporal Cold War, an alien race known as the Na'kuhl, led by Vosk, assisted the Third Reich during World War II.

In this timeline, Vladimir Lenin was assassinated in 1916, stalling the Russian Revolution, and, in turn, enabling Hitler to push his forces westward. Germany quickly rose to power in Europe, conquering most nations there before attacking the eastern United States. By 1944, Washington DC and New York City were under Nazi control, mostly due to Na'kuhl technology. In the same year, Hilter visited Nazi-occupied New York.

The starship Enterprise (NX-01) destroyed Vosk's temporal conduit, preventing the timeline from occurring.
