third reich

[ <<  1-3  >>  ]

militaria item Liberation of the Saarland 'tinnie'
- German
This commemorates the moment when Adolf Hitler ordered his troops to occupy the Saarland, hitherto under French control. The French army offered no resistance and, to compound matters, meekly packed up and left, offering the Reich its first bloodless victory!

militaria item SS Fordende Mittglieder lapel pin
- German
This is the 'contributing members' pin awarded to financial supporters of the SS. The translation of the German is: 'Thanks of the SS for loyalty // help in the time of struggle'. It is nicely stamped with RZM and some issue numbers on the reverse, as well as 'GES.GESCH.' (for patent pending).

militaria item First Panzer Army dog tag
- German
This is aluminium dog tag is probably for the training battalion of the unit and is marked 'Neu' (=new) to indicate a replacement item. The First Panzer Army were famous for having got the furthest East (to the edge of Grozny in modern Chechenya) of any German units in WW2. 'O' indicates the blood group.
