The Combat League of Revolutionary National Socialists (German: Kampfgemeinschaft Revolutionärer Nationalsozialisten, KGRNS), more commonly known as the Black Front (German: Schwarze Front), was a political group formed by Otto Strasser in 1930 after he resigned from the Nazi Party (NSDAP) to avoid being expelled.[3][4]
Strasser formed the Black Front to continue what he saw as the original
economic antisemitic terms rather than socialism. The Black Front was composed of former radical Nazis who intended to cause a split in the party, and adopted the crossed hammer and sword symbol that is still used by several Strasserite groups. The group published a newspaper entitled The German Revolution.[3]
The Black Front, which never had more than a couple of thousand members,Third Reich in exile, first in Czechoslovakia (then the First Czechoslovak Republic) and later in Canada, before returning to West Germany in 1953.[5]
