English: Photograph taken around 1933/34 by Margret Berken (1911–1995) at a parade of members of Der Stahlhelm, a German World War I veterans' organization that had been forcibly aligned with the Nazi regime.

According to an additional description by Et Mikkel, they are wearing uniforms of the Wehrstahlhelm, modeled after the Imperial German Army with some Nazi modifications, including:

• Military backpack (Tornister) and blanket roll
• The NSDAP eagle-and-swastika emblem (Parteiadler, "party eagle") placed between the imperial cockades on the cap
• A red-and-white NSDAP armband (Hakenkreuzarmbinde, swastika armband) worn on the left upper arm
• Above the armband: typically the provincial or regional unit insignia
• On the right upper arm: insignia of the Reich Warriors' Association (Reichskriegerbund)
• The group carries the Imperial War Flag (Reichskriegsflagge) 1903–1918

The process of fully incorporating the Stahlhelm into the Nazi regime culminated in 1934 as part of the broader policy of Gleichschaltung (English: coordination or synchronization). The organization was restructured as the Nationalsozialistischer Deutscher Frontkämpfer-Bund (Stahlhelm) (English: National Socialist German Combatants' Federation (Stahlhelm)), abbreviated NSDFBSt. At the same time, significant portions of its membership were absorbed into the SA (Sturmabteilung under designations such as Wehrstahlhelm, Reserve I, and Reserve II. The remaining local NSDFBSt groups were officially dissolved by decree of Adolf Hitler on 7 November 1935, marking the final dismantling of the organization.
