==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]].
