The '''Stahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten''' ({{lang-en|Steel Helmet}}, League of Frontline Soldiers) was one of the many [[paramilitary]] organizations that arose after the defeat of [[World War I]] in the [[Weimar Republic]]. | |||
==1918 to 1933== | |||
The [[Stahlhelm]] was founded at the end of 1918 partly by [[Franz Seldte]] in the city of [[Magdeburg]]. Its journal, ''Stahlhelm'', was edited by Count [[Hans-Jürgen von Blumenthal]], later hanged for his part in the [[July 20 plot]]. The organization was a rallying point for [[nationalism|nationalistic]] and anti-Weimar elements. Within the organization a worldview oriented toward the prior imperial regime predominated. Jewish veterans were denied admission and formed a separate ''[[Reichsbund jüdischer Frontsoldaten]]''. From 1924 on, in several subsidiary organizations, new recruits and veterans with front line experience would provide a standing armed force in support of the ''[[Reichswehr]]'' beyond the 100,000 allowed by the [[Treaty of Versailles]] . | |||
With 500,000 members in 1930, the Stahlhelm was the largest paramilitary organization of Weimar Germany. | |||
In 1929 the Stahlhelm joined the [[Volksentscheid gegen den Young-Plan]] to demonstrate against the [[Young Plan]]. The Stahlhelm joined the [[DNVP]], [[NSDAP]] and [[Alldeutscher Verband]] to form the [[Harzburger Front]], which was a united right-wing front against the Weimar Republic. | |||
==1933 to 1945== | |||
=== '''[[Gleichschaltung]]''' 1934 === | |||
In 1934 the Stahlhelm was renamed ''Nationalsozialistischer Deutscher Frontkämpferbund'' (Federation of the National Socialist Frontline-Fighters) and integrated into the [[Sturmabteilung]] and, in 1935, it was dissolved by the Nazis, who feared its fundamentally [[monarchist]] character. | |||
== After 1945 == | |||
In 1951 the ''Stahlhelm Bund der Frontsoldaten'' was re-created in [[Cologne]]. A year later, in 1952, even before his release from prison, Field Marshal [[Albert Kesselring]] was elected as leader federal of the [[neonazism|neonazi]] association,<ref>''Bund der Frontsoldaten' wahlt Kesselring zum Prasidenten'', [[National Zeitung]], 8 August 1952.</ref> a post he kept till his death in 1960. | |||
