About Jan Baars
Lived 1903 – 1989 (aged 85). Jan Baars was a Dutch politician, resistance fighter, merchant and fascist, known for Fascism.
Joannes Antonius Baars (30 June 1903 – 22 April 1989) was a leading Dutch fascist during the 1930s.
During the 1920s Baars emerged as part of the group associated with De Bezem, a fascist journal aimed at the poor. The magazine split in 1930 and Baars supported Alfred Haighton over H.A. Sinclair de Rochemont, joining Haighton's Fascistische Jongeren Bond.
Baars gained some support amongst the poor as his coarse, down-to-earth style of rhetoric could easily be identified with by people who spoke in the same manner.
