Its full name was the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der nord- und westdeutschen Gaue der NSDAP. Aligned with the Strasserist wing of the Party,it unsuccessfully sought to steer the Party leadership in that direction by updating the Party program of 1920. Party Chairman Adolf Hitler perceived the Association as a threat to his leadership,so its activities were curtailed shortly after the Bamberg Conference of 14 February 1926 presided over by him,and it was formally dissolved on 1 October of that year.
