Otto Strasser (1897-1974) was a German politician, the younger brother of Gregor Strasser. He was ousted, by Adolf Hitler, over his left-wing view of socialism in National Socialism. That ouster saved his life, as his somewhat more moderate brother stayed in the Party and was murdered in the 1934 Night of the Long Knives.
While the Strassers were originally Bavarian, they became active in the Munich faction, the Working Association of the North and West. Otto became editor of its publication, as well as a Berlin newsletter, Berliner Arbeiterzeitung.
After he left the Party, he formed the Black Front, a socialistic and nationalistic association that was not strongly antisemitic. It had little effect.
