The group was absorbed by the joined German National People"s Party (DNVP) in June 1920 and Kunze joined the DNVP and became the party"s chief publicist. However Kunze split from the party in 1921, feeling that it did not match his own hard-line stance on the Jews.
In 1921 Kunze established his own anti-Semitic party in north Germany known as the, an early rival to the Nazi Party on the far right.
The party became noted for provocative street activities, with Kunze himself becoming a well-known demagogue. However support was lost as Kunze also gained a reputation for using the party as a way to make money for himself, diverting funds into his own pockets and after a number of defections he wound the party up in 1929.
Kunze was elected to the Preußischer Landtag as a Nazi delegate in 1932 and in the November 1933 he was elected to the Reichstag, serving in what by then had become a perfunctory institution until 1945. Kunze was arrested after the Battle of Berlin but went missing in May 1945 and was presumed dead.
