Stahlhelm-Fraktion

Stahlhelm-Fraktion Gold Steel Helmet-Faction is the hard-line or right-wing faction of a political party , most notably the German CDU . [1] [2] [3] [4] The term refers to the hawkish, ie pro-military positions often taken by such groups and comes from the Stahlhelm , the steel helmet historically used by German soldiers. It was originally used of pro-military extremist politicians in Weimar Republic who were members of the Stahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten . [5]
