Frontbann

'Front Regiment') refers to a reorganized front organization of the Sturmabteilung or SA which was formed in April 1924.

It was created in April 1924 as a substitute for the then banned SA in the aftermath of the failed "Beer Hall Putsch" of November 1923.

[2] The Nazi Party (NSDAP) including the SA was outlawed by the Weimar Republic government following the putsch.

The Frontbann was disbanded on February 27, 1925 when the ban was lifted on the Nazi Party and was reformed back into the SA.

The only change was the placement of a steel helmet at the centre of the red brassard, instead of the black swastika.

The Frontbann badge, worn until 1934. The motto on the swastika behind the helmet reads "Wir wollen frei werden" ("We want to be free").
