West German federal election, 1972

Federal elections were held in West Germany on 19 November 1972. In the first snap elections since 1949, the Social Democratic Party became the largest party in the Bundestag, winning 242 of the 518 seats.
==Campaign==

The Social-liberal coalition of SPD and FDP had lost its majority after several Bundestag MPs (like former FDP ministers Erich Mende and Heinz Starke or SPD partisan Herbert Hupka) had left their party and become members of the CDU/CSU opposition to protest against Chancellor Willy Brandt's ''Neue Ostpolitik'', especially against the ''de facto'' recognition of the Oder-Neisse line by the 1970 Treaty of Warsaw.
On 27 April 1972 the opposition had tried to have CDU leader Rainer Barzel elected new chancellor in a motion of no confidence, but Barzel surprisingly missed the majority in the Bundestag by two votes. Rumours that at least one member of CDU/CSU faction had been paid by the East German ''Stasi'' intelligence service were confirmed by Markus Wolf, former head of the ''Hauptverwaltung Aufklärung'', in 1997. Nevertheless the following budget debates revealed that the government's majority was lost and only the upcoming organisation of the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich delayed the arrangement of new elections. On 22 September 1972 Chancellor Brandt deliberately lost a vote of confidence, allowing President Gustav Heinemann to dissolve the Bundestag the next day.
In the tense campaign, the CDU/CSU attacked Brandt as being too lenient towards Eastern Europe and having the wrong ideas on the economy. SPD and FDP profited from the enormous personal popularity of the chancellor, laureate of the 1971 Nobel Peace Prize. He gained the support by numerous celebrities of the West German culture and media scene (e.g. Günter Grass), expressed by the slogan ''Willy wählen!'' ("Vote for Willy!").
