Biographical/Historical Information

After the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP) is banned on November 23, 1923, other extreme right-wing groups join together to form the Völkischer Block. The anti-parliamentarianism of the poster was strongly echoed: the "Völkischer Block" received 2 million votes, which meant 32 deputies in the Reichstag; the faction leader was Ludendorff.
