The Nazi Party of Costa Rica () was the name of a Costa Rican movement during the 1930s. It was never legalized as a political party but was well organized and supported Nazi Germany during World War II. Overview Its leaders were the engineer Max Effinger, Herbert Knorr and Karl Bayer. It was formed mostly by Germans and white Costa Ricans, and reached a total of 66 members. They met at the German Club (where they performed public activities). It was in the German club, where Margarita Dobles, daughter of Luis Dobles Segreda, recited her poetry: Adolf Hitler, the Liberator of the German Land. After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Costa Rica declared war on Germany. The Italians and Germans were arrested for their Nazi support and sent to a concentration camp in the center of San José. |
