The National Socialist German Students' Union or ‘Nationalsozialistischer Deutscher Studentenbund’ abbreviated NSDStB, was founded in 1926 as a division of the Nazi Party with the mission of integrating University-level education and academic life within the framework of the Nazi worldview. Organized strictly in accord with the Führerprinzip or ‘leader principle’, the NSDStB housed its members in so-called Kameradschaftshäusern or ‘Fellowship Houses’, and from 1930 had its members decked out in classic brown shirts with their own distinctive Swastika emblems.
