Pendant of Japanese Archers Made for Members of the Hitler Youth (Item YOUTH 9-1 & JAP 1-7) |
||
| DESCRIPTION: This is a very unusual and rare badge that was struck in the shop of Herr Franz Schnell in Halle, Germany. (Please read the narrative on our home page entitled “About our Rings and Silver Insignia”.) In the Hitler Youth there was a vast interest in Japanese cultural life and art. Visitations to Japan by youth members were often made while Japanese youth were sent on trips to Berlin and Munich. The H.J. leadership and counselors were particularly interested in the cult and the saga of the Samurai. The chivalry, the traditions and the use of their weapons were of particular interest to the Hitler youth lads. The art of archery especially from horseback fascinated them. And there were exercises in Japanese archery at several of the Youth camps throughout the Reich. The H.J. organization gave as an archery prize a pendant copied from one of the ancient awards as presented for centuries by the various Japanese archery groups.
The award that came in silver for 1st Class and bronze for 2nd Class, was a skull struck in these metals, and would suspend from a chain about the neck. Since archery was considered not only a favored sport but also served to train Japans warrior class in weapon dexterity, it ranked next to proficiency with the Samurai sword. These were considered “National Treasure Pastimes” so it would only follow that the youth of Germany in their desire to be an elite entity would be vigorously enthused about learning all they could about the archery skills of the Samurai. Thus, when Herr Schnell received the order from the Reich-JugendFuhrer, he saw to it that the pieces were made to his highest standards.
Just like American Boy Scouts received merit badges for proficiency, so did the H.J. This badge could be considered exactly that...an award for excellence in Japanese style archery. To wear this petite skull marked the wearer as an expert exponent (extraordinaire!) in this age old art. The medallion is very small about (one inch high). The detail is great! Having been produced in Germany, the silver ones are stamped with the 925 silver designation on the back of the jaw. This is an item that is important in historic tradition and today quite rare indeed.
Just as rare in bronze as in silver.
PRICE: In silver $75.00 In bronze $75.00 |

A Jungmadel Wimpel (Pendant) (Item YOUTH 9-2) |
DESCRIPTION: This is a rare pendant called a “Wimple.” They were carried on flagpoles at events of the girl's equivalent of the Hitler Youth organization (the ‘Jungmadelschar’). This particular one was carried by the members of that group in the small town of Wickrathberg, a town so small that it was inhabited by only 2,200 citizens today. Many people moved out in 1945-1948 because the town had the horrid bad memories of being one of the places that were POW camps assigned to “Rheinwisenlager” -- this was possibly the worst of about 20 U.S. camps for over one million German prisoners of war in the Rhineland during the period from spring to late summer 1945. We won't go into the horrors perpetrated by the Allies that is a shameful chapter in history that the U.S. government has never investigated. It was a major war crime instigated solely by the commander Dwight D. Eisenhower who decided not to consider the detainees as prisoners of war but as disarmed enemy forces in short (DEF), a no longer existent stage, accordingly they should not enjoy the protection of the Geneva Convention. They were denied all benefits such as Red Cross help, even the aid of the townspeople. Over one million POWs died as a result of Ike's orders. Read the book “Other Losses” by James Bacque -- a real eye opener as to war crimes that you may not ever hear about in our controlled press. OK, so I got carried away again! But I am a Revisionist Historian and I feel duty bound to report the truth. When I get the urge and the name “Wickrathberg” just lights a fire of revisionist truth within me that just had to come out! Back to the Wimpel -- it has the standard HJ insignia on the other side with a stain that may or may not be able to be removed. No, dear romanticists, it is not blood -- the pendant is otherwise in great condition. It is a consignment item and can’t be put on a payment plan. PRICE: $598.00 RARE ! VERY RARE ! |

“ORDENSBURG” The N.S. Political School |
DESCRIPTION: This is a grouping of educational booklets that we managed to buy at the Frankfurt A.M. Book Fair in Germany a few years ago. We finally got around to digging them out for inclusion on the site. For us to list them individually, these books would sell for prices anywhere from $40 to $75 each but since we will offer them in lots we will make them most reasonable. In fact, so reasonable that they should move right out if one would consider what a great bargain is being offered here. We will start with 6 issues of ‘Wille un Macht.’ This was the official booklet of the leadership (Fuhrer Corps of the Hitler Youth and the students at the Ordensburg). These are six issues that were sent out on a bi-monthly basis to the leadership corps by the central publishing offices of the NSDAP. They were also sent to the U.S. to be issued to officials and Youth leaders of the “Jugendshaft” of the German American Bund that is evidenced in part of these books with the English words Printed in Germany stamped on several of the issues. The Ordensburgen Program was a plan to educate future leaders of the German Reich. In a 1933 speech in Brenau, Adolf Hitler demanded that new schools be built for the children of the leaders of the National Socialist state. The task was given to Dr. Robert Ley, the Reichs organization leader and national leader of the N.S. work programs. He undertook the construction and operation of four educational centers: Ordensburg, Krossinsee in Pomerania, Ordensburg Sonthofen in the Algau Ordensburg Vogelsang, in Eifel and a fourth one was planned at the historical Marienburg castle in West Prussia. Much information can be seen about Ordensburg Vogelsang and the others on the World Wide Web by entering “Ordensburg” on Google. As always, we caution you to read ‘between the lines’ because you must remember the Victors get to write the history! The Ordensburg program turned out fine young leaders for what would have been Utopian Socialist Society of Germanic thinking and actions quite different than the Socialism of our countries today. Don’t make me expound on this or I will be assaulted by the ATTACK RATS on the military forums who believe in suppressing historical opinions that are expounded upon by revisionists but these serpent like ‘talking heads’ love to demonize anyone with different ideas about WWII and its aftermath but they do it from their slimy keyboards, never one on one personally. They are in a word “Cowards” and would be heroes who are actually misanthropes and cretins of the very lowest reptilian order. The booklets are in fine condition and each one covers subjects important to the creation of the ‘New Man’ within the agenda of the NSDAP each booklet has a stamp that states that the issue is from the Ordensburg Vogelsang library (Bucherei) and as we have stated practically all of these also have the stamp (Printed in Germany) 5 of them are from 1938 and one from 1937. Truly historically important and very collectable. PRICE: $250.00 for the lot |

Grouping of Various Soft Bound Titles from the Library Collection of the N.S. OrdensburgVogelsang Political School (Item YOUTH 9-3B) |
DESCRIPTION: Here is a grouping of six very important booklets from the Library of the Ordensburg Vogelsang in the Eifl. In the description that can be seen above you will know something about these schools of higher learning that existed in the Third Reich. These examples are typical of the printed material that was bought at the famed Frankfurt A.M. book fair held annually in Germany. This is a hand selected lot lifted from a much larger group all from then N S Ordensburg Vogalsang political school. The booklet on the 1936 Olympics is a guide book for stenographers to learn shorthand but it has great pictures from the 1936 games. The Wille und Macht is a 1934 earlier version of the ones shown in the narrative above this one. There is an anti-Soviet issue of “Die Kameradscharft.” The organ of the Hitler Youth from 1937. The name is “Der Brandherd Moskau.” Another important one is “Rede Des Fuhrers and Reichs-Kanzlers Adolf Hitler Vor Dem Reichstag AM 30 Januar 1937." (The Speech of A. H. before the senate on 30 January, 1937.) Another is Fuhrerblatter Der Hitler Jugend 1935. (Leaders instructions of the Hitler Youth.) Then there is “Die Burg Das Deutschen Jungvolks (The Castle of the German Young folk) published for the Jungenschaft. This one speaks of the beginnings of the concept of Ordensburgen. Quite a collectors bundle and prodigiously important historically. PRICE: $145.00 the lot (bargain priced!) |

A Dozen Varied Booklets from the Library of Ordensburg Vogelsang N.S. Political School (Item YOUTH 9-3C) |
DESCRIPTION: Here is another lot, this one comprised of 12 important pamphlet style booklets that were from the library collection of the Ordensburg Vogelsang in the Eifel. See the proceeding two narratives above for more details about the Ordensburgen. This group has some very important academic titles as can be seen in the picture attachments. We won’t go into the description of them beyond what the images will tell but the years of these issues are from 1935, 1937, 1938. All are in good shape, all bear the stamp of the Ordensburg Vogelsang and some have the stamp “printed in Germany.” The reason for that is explained in the 1st group of 6 offered above. Titles such as Das Junge Deutschland 1935 are filled with very scarce HJ material and that one has 95 pages. Der Kampf um Berlin (the Fight for Berlin) 1938 is a much sought after Kampfzeit issue of the Jugendschaft.of the German American bund “Morgan” the National Socialist Youth Quarterly does have pictures of youth activities. This is a very great grouping at a very reasonable price. PRICE: $175.00 for all! AN INCREDIBLE OFFER! |

Germanishe Landdienst Silver Brooch (Netherlands Hitler Youth) (Item YOUTH 9-4) |
DESCRIPTION: This is a leaders brooch for the Germanic Land Service. The Germanic land service evolved from the original group, The Landjahr (Land Year), of the Dutch Hitler Youth. It actually encompassed volunteers from among the youth of all the Nordic countries and laterally, even of the Baltic states. It is supposed that the Germans hoped to expand the concepts of the HJ Organization to one of universal German Youth (Germanishe Jugend). The terms Germanic Land Service and Germanic Youth were often used as interchangeable. Probably it was hoped that the Germanic Youth would become the junior counterpart of the Germanic SS in liberated Germanic countries. A step which seems to indicate this was a setting up of Germanic National Schools (Germanishe Reichsschulen). A joint effort on the part of the SS and the Hitler Youth, the schools that existed at that time were only three -- two in Holland and one in Belgium. These schools were open to all Nordic Volunteers not merely to Dutch and Flemish lads, however of course these Nationalities predominated. The uniform for males in the movement was a mixture of SS and Hitler Youth as befitted the joint parentage of these establishments. It consisted of a brown tunic with darker brown collar open at the neck worn with a yellowish brown shirt. On the upper arm (left) the SS eagle was worn, slightly smaller than the Waffen SS sleeve eagle. Brown shorts with ankle socks and shoes were worn. Headgear was a brown forage cap with the National eagle and swastika (not the SS type) on the front above a red/white/ black cockade. A cuff title proclaimed Germanishen Landienst and was worn on the dress tunic for officers. So what we have here is a brooch or badge that is considered Hitler youth-connected and has SS connotations as well. Some of you are familiar with the works of the master silver smith Franz Schnell of Halle an Der Salle Germany. Please read our narrative entitled “About our rings and silver insignia” on our home page. Herr Schell had several SS contracts and was Himmler’s favorite jeweler. This badge is now and then encountered in a cheap white metal production, this was the way they were first produced by various companies in the Netherlands. When the organization grew and prospered the leadership wanted a more refined and highly detailed badge, so the SS and HJ leader corps went to Herr Schnell and requested him to produce a brooch in fine silver. What he came up with was a beautiful piece that certainly demonstrates Germanic beauty and excellence in the jewelry arts. The piece is the size of an American silver dollar or about 1 ½ inches in diameter, the tone and shading is superb! It is stamped 800 on the back. This refers to fine silver. The Odel rune and sword represent the Holy Germanic soil that gives sustenance and the sword represent defense of the Nordic Fatherland (then united in the spirit of the Bewegungt). This brooch could be worn by the female leaders of the movement or by the men who were higher officers on the sides of their caps or on the tunic. This in my opinion is one of the sharpest looking insignia of the HJ-SS. PRICE: $268.00 |
