Pewter Plaque of Horst Wessel (Item SA 3-11) |
||||
| DESCRIPTION: Horst Wessel, 1907-1930, SA leader, songwriter, born at Bielefeld on September 9, 1907. He was the son of a protestant clergyman. He studied law at the university, but abandoned his studies after falling in love with a Berlin girl (Berliner Luft), Horst joined the Nazi Party at 19 and became the leader of one of the troops of brown shirts (storm troopers). Later he wrote the lyrics for the celebrated Horst Wessel Lied, originally titled Raise the Banner (Die Fahne Hoch). This, after his murder by a gang of filthy Communist rats, became the anthem of the NSDAP. His untimely death and the recognition of his leadership record, plus the adoration of his troopers now transformed him into an eternal heroic symbol. He was in fact an idealist who had given his life for the Nationalist Socialist cause. Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels called him a socialist Christ when he gave the eulogy at the grave sight. “Die Fahne hoc!/Die Reihen dicht Geschlossen/SA Marschiert mit ruhig festem schritt…” Translated: “Hold the flag high/close up the battered ranks!/SA marches forward with calm, firm stride…” The plate (plaque) measures 9 inches in diameter and is in very fine condition throughout with very tiny, almost invisible scratches. The back has the Fein Zinn (fine pewter) mark with company logo and the name of the manufacturer in Neuhaus. The hanging device was broken off and has a rigged repair that at least works. This is a truly rare and historically important piece of early NSDAP history and a great addition to a good collection.

Book Horst Wessel (Item SA 3-12) |
||||
| DESCRIPTION: This is a little book written in the period of the Third German Reich by Fritz Daum. The full title is SA-Sturmführer Horst Wessel for Germany’s youth. There are only two pictures within. The first is across from the title page and is a beautiful depiction of a twilight march of SA troopers illuminated by the lamp posts as they march by. The other one is in the middle of the book and depicts a truck loaded with SA troopers as they ride through “Red Berlin” distributing pamphlets. The angry subhuman reds demonstrate their protest with shaking fists. Horst Wessel was born in 1906 and martyred by the red thugs in 1930. He was the composer of Die Fahne Hoch, Raise the Banner, which became the anthem of the Nazi Party. The book is in fine condition throughout and is 112 pages long. It measure 6 ½ x 8 ½ inches and is a little over ½ inch thick. A very nice SA relic on its own and would grace an SA collection with its presence.
PRICE: $135.00. |
