Queen Louise League

She became idealized for her feminine virtues, her determination and her love for her country, as well as for her beauty and the fact that Napoleon, portrayed as an "enemy of everything German", hated her.

Many wives of Der Stahlhelm members belonged to the Queen Louise League and they were, like their husbands, strongly opposed to democracy[6] and in favor of German re-armament.

After the Machtergreifung, the takeover of the government of Germany by Adolf Hitler, the Queen Louise League was initially welcomed by the Nazi party as an ally.

[7] Campaigning along with the brownshirts for a "Greater Germany" with expanded borders and "freedom from weight of the reparations", the League's members had taken active part in parades and events organized by the Nazis even before their accession to power.

[9] The reason was the difference in local practices, be it at the Gau or national level, which didn't match those wished by the Nazi leadership of the country.
