German Peace Union (German: Deutsche Friedens-Union, or DFU) was the name of a pacifist party in the Federal Republic of Germany. It was heavily controlled by former members of the Communist Party of Germany[1] and was funded by East Germany until its dissolution.[8] Since the late 1960s, the DFU was controlled by the new German Communist Party (DKP)[9] and it stopped participating in elections.[2]
Attempts of a coalition with the Action Group of Independent Germans for the 1965 and 1969 elections went unsuccessfully.[10]
