Stahlhelm-Fraktion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stahlhelm-Fraktion or Steel Helmet-Faction is a German term often used to describe the hard-line or right-wing faction of a political party, most notably the German CDU. The term comes from the hawkish, i.e. pro-military positions often taken by such groups. The term is named after the Stahlhelm, the steel helmet historically used by German soldiers.
