Strasser, Otto

    0.03 sec.

Strasser, Otto

(born Sept. 10, 1897, Windsheim, Ger.—died Aug. 27, 1974, Munich, W.Ger.) German political activist. He and his brother Gregor joined the Nazi Party in the early 1920s. Along with Joseph Goebbels, they built a mass movement appealing to the lower middle classes and to workers by advocating a socialism couched in nationalist and racist terminology. Otto resigned in 1930, disillusioned by Adolf Hitler's nonsocialist goals. After Gregor was murdered on Hitler's orders in 1934, Otto escaped into exile in Canada, then returned to Germany in 1955.
