The party was found when the United Front party, led by Tuominen, merged with the supporters of the Nazi leader Nuorimo. The party was most active and popular in Tampere. A considerable number of workers for the aircraft manufacturing company Valtion lentokonetehdas were party members. The party was funded by consul Sylvester Mank.
The party leadership visited Germany in 1942 as guests of the Nazi leadership. The press agency {{interlanguage link|Deutsches Nachrichtenbüro|de}} reported about the event and the Danish Nazi magazine {{interlanguage link|Fædrelandet (1939–1945)|dk|lt=Fædrelandet}} interviewed Nuorimo.
After the war, Nuorimo was followed by the Red Valpo and he told his life had been threatened, so he moved from Finland to Umeå.Uola, Mikko: Unelma kommunistisesta Suomesta 1944–1953. Helsinki: Minerva, 2013. ISBN 978-952-492-768-0.
Party program
The party program was influenced by both the {{Lang|de|Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei}} (NSDAP) and Finnish Nazi parties. A peculiarity of the AT program was its emphasis on agrarianism and the rights and wellbeing of farmers, wanting to allow "only those who are farming the land or using it for a similar useful purpose" to own land.[https://www.fsd.tuni.fi/pohtiva/ohjelmalistat/ASEV/280 Puolueohjelma 1942] (Pohtiva – poliittisten ohjelmien tietovaranto)
