BACKGROUND: The Iron Front was a loose affiliation of democratically minded, anti-Nazi political parties and trade unions formed in March 1932 in an attempt to reelect President Paul von Hindenburg and keep Hitler from assuming power. The Iron Front disbanded shortly after the second 1932 election without ever becoming an official political party.
