Campaign
The National Socialist Freedom Movement received 6.5% in the previous election, but party unity broke down afterwards. Julius Streicher and Hermann Esser left to form their own party while Adalbert Volck and Ludolf Haase advocated abstaining from the election or voting for other nationalist parties.[5] The NSFM was attacked as anti-Catholic by the Centre Party and anti-Christian by the German National People's Party (DNVP).[6]
Catholics accounted for 17% of NSFM's vote.[7]
