Election poster for the battle front candidates Alfred Hugenberg , Franz von Papen and Franz Seldte

The black-white-red battle front was an electoral alliance made up of the German National People's Party (DNVP) and Stahlhelm, named after the old imperial colors black, white and red . The fighting front, which is de facto dominated by the DNVP, was founded on February 11, 1933 and only ran for the Reichstag election on March 5 of that year, when it achieved 8% of the vote. At the secret meeting of February 20, 1933 , the NSDAP and the combat front were given an election fund of 3 million Reichsmarks from industrialists, of which the combat front received 25%.
