SPD
A political campaign poster from, I believe, 1928. It's imploring German voters to protect freedom and the relatively new republic by voting for the Social Democrats. That election year was a good one for the Social Democrats. Following the elections, they formed an important part of the governing coalition, the so-called Grand Coalition, which was led by the Social Democrat Hermann Mueller and the towering right-leaning liberal diplomat, Gustav Stresemann. Mueller's and Stresemann's Grand Coalition was to be the last government of Germany to command a majority in the Reichstag before Hitler was given the chancellery in 1933.
