Volksgruppenführer in der Slowakei Ing. Franz Karmasin
After successfully completing his studies at the Gymnasium in Olomouc in 1919, Franz Karmasin continued his studies at the agricultural faculty of the German Technical University in Libverde, where he obtained his degree as an engineer. After a short period as a clerk in Moravia, he left for Slovakia in 1926, where on 5 October 1927 he was instrumental in the founding of the Carpatho-German National Community (Karpathendeutschen Volksgemeinschaft), the forerunner of the Carpatho-German Party.
When the Kamaradschaftsbund, Bund für gesamtgesellschaftliche Bildung was founded in 1930, promoting the statist teachings of the Viennese professor Othmar Spann, Franz Karmasin was among its founding members (together with him, other prominent Sudeten German leaders and agitators such as
Before the parliamentary elections, Karmasin's KdP unsuccessfully attempts to cooperate with the Spiš German Party (Zipscher Deutsche Partei - ZdP), as a result of which the number of votes received is insufficient for even one parliamentary seat. Learning from this failure, the KdP entered into an electoral alliance with Henlein's Sudeten German Party (Sudetendeutsche Partei - SdP) immediately before the 1935 elections, which participated in the electoral struggle in Slovakia both financially and in terms of personnel. The result of the cooperation is that the party wins two seats in the parliament, one of which goes to Franz Karmasin, and two senatorial seats.
In 1935, the KdP adopts new statutes, according to which Konrad Henlein is appointed party chairman. On 15 October 1937, Franz Karmasin is appointed Henlein's representative for the territory of Slovakia. Half a year later, on 30.4.1938, the KdP publishes a declaration openly espousing the ideas of National Socialism and gradually changes in the ideology and structure of the party along the lines of the NSDAP. Immediately after the Munich Agreement, the activities of both the KdP and the SdP are banned.
On 6.10.1937, the Carpatho-German National Community is transformed into the Carpatho-German Party (Karpatendeutsche Partei - KdP), and Karmasin, who, with the support of his friends from , takes over the leadership of the KdP]Kameradschaftsbundis at the same time promoted to the leadership of the German Cultural Association (Sekretär des Deutschen Kulturverbandes - DKV).
On 8 October 1938, the Slovak government allowed the Carpathian Germans to govern themselves and to declare themselves National Socialists, which date can also be considered the date of the founding of the Deutsche Partei /in der Slowakei/ (DP), the successor of the KdP. The DP is founded by the "leader of the German National Group" (Volksgruppenführer) Karmasin, who is appointed State Secretary on 10.10.1938, when the German Secretariat is established. From 30.10.1938, the Carpathian Germans were officially allowed to use the swastika as their symbol (Hakenkreuz) and the formation of paramilitary Volunteer Protection Corps (Freiwillige Schutzstaffel) was permitted. The Freiwillige Schutzstaffel (FS-Landesführer) was Walter Donath. In 1939, the FS had a strength of approximately 5,500 men, divided into six Sturmbann.
In the Slovak parliamentary elections of 18 December 1938, the DP won two seats, one of which was allocated to Karmasin. The Deutsche Partei supports and encourages that wing of the HSĽS which aims at the independence of Slovakia and tries to promote Nazi interests in it.
After the declaration of independent Slovakia (14 March 1939), in which the DP, which had freed itself from Henlein's tutelage, took an active part, the latter continues its anti-Czechoslovak policy according to instructions from Berlin. The main aim of Karmasin's DP is the Nazification of the entire German population in Slovakia. This process has been relatively smooth in Bratislava and central Slovakia, but in Spiš Karmasin's leadership has only succeeded in liquidating the influence of the rival Spiš German Party (ZdP) by using threats and, in certain cases, outright violence. The process of Nazification of the German community was greatly facilitated by Germany's international political and military successes. In the atmosphere of euphoria caused by the rapid victories of the German armies, the DP leadership succeeded in uniting almost all members of the German minority in Slovakia within its ranks. At the beginning of 1940, the DP already had 60,000 registered members, which meant that practically all adult members of the German minority were politically organised in the party. At the same time, the DP gains the privileged status of the sole political representative of the Slovak Germans and also acquires complete and exclusive control over all organisations, whether economic, cultural or sporting, which bring together the German population. The financing of the DP and its branches is ensured, in addition to membership fees, mainly by contributions from the Central Office of German National Groups (Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle - VoMi). The organs of the DP are the Grenzbote, a daily newspaper founded and published by Karmasin, and the Deutsche Stimmen, a weekly newspaper founded by Karmasin in 1934, but at that time already under the leadership of Dr. Karl Hauskrecht.
After the outbreak of the Slovak National Uprising, Karmasin builds an armed component of the DP called the Domobrana (Heimatschutz), which actively participates in the suppression of the uprising but also in later repressions against the civilian population. In April/April 1945 Karmasin leaves or flees with members of the Slovak government to Austria, where he hides under the name Franz (Paul?) Dibak (Ing. Dibak). After the war, he is sentenced to death in absentia by the Bratislava National Court. However, he manages to escape and in 1949 he escapes from Austria to the Federal Republic of Germany.
In Germany, he becomes politically involved again and heads one of the regional associations, namely the Landsmanschaft der Karpathendeutschen aus der Slowakei and is also one of the founders of the Sudetendeutsche Landsmannschaft in Germany.

Zaujímavá momentka z poľského Sanoku vyfotená krátko po napadnutí Poľska armádami nacistického Nemecka a Slovenska v septembri 1939.
Generál 1. triedy František Čatloš (vľavo) spýtavo hľadí na Franza Karmasina (uprostred) v armádnej uniforme. Z pózy a sebavedomého výrazu tváre Karmasina sa javí, ako by tomu ansámblu velil on a nie Čatloš. Hodnosť Karmasina nedokážem na fotografii rozpoznať, ale vyzerá ako plukovnícka. Prekvapuje ma, že má ako nevojak oblečenú armádnu uniformu s dohodovým opaskom a na hlave pilotku.
