The context of the word Kampfzeit can be traced back to the turbulent years of the Weimar Republic. The term was mostly used by the NSDAP to commemorate the partys years of struggle, before the machtübernahme in January 1933.
This site is strictly non-political, but a historical archive for knowledge about the period, through the original documents, photos, badges and such.
