German Workers' Party
By this time, the German Workers' Party (DAP) had changed its name to the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP). It had grown from a fringe sect to Bavaria's most powerful political force of 70,000 members. By 1923, the SA was the Nazi Party's private army with about 15,000 members. A subgroup of the NSDAP was the "Stoßtrupp-Hitler", a personal bodyguard unit for Hitler under the command of Joseph Berchtold. Another group was the Party's youth group "Jungsturm Adolf Hitler" led by Adolf Lenk.
