{{cquote|November 3, at 4 A.M. on the eve of the elections, the strike wave culminated in the great Berlin transportation strike. Communists and Nazis stood shoulder to shoulder in the picket lines, in the raiding squads and in the action committees. Chancellor von Papen threatened martial law and the calling out of the ''Reichswehr''. The National Socialists and the Communist Party countered with an armed concentration of their brigades in the environs and the suburbs of Berlin. The strike continued, dominating the election of November.|||account of Richard Julius Hermann Krebs, another KPD member<ref>Krebs, Richard Julius Hermann (1940).
