The 1929-30 German worker sample drew 262 Social Democrats versus only 17 Nazis
Evidence
With regard to political orientation the sample was divided into Communists, left-wing socialists (within the Social Democratic Party), Social Democrats, middle-class and centre parties, Nazis (this was the smallest group, with only seventeen persons), and non-voters; within the two largest groups, the Communists (150) and the Social Democrats (262), further distinction was made between officials, voters and undecided. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 192
