A third group, the Volkschaft der Nordungen, or 'Nordungen Fraternity', originated in German youth movement circles, c. 1913. Here again there was an eventual affiliation with the Deutsche Orden [German Order]. The emphasis was on the revival of the values supposed to be inherent in the ancient Germanic civilization. 'The aim and significance of our every action is Nordland' (the North-land or Nordic-land). Apart from these three major groups there were a fair number of very small ones, none of them well documented. " |
