    English + German Soldiers Tinnie


    Recommended Posts

    Hello Everyone,

    I've recently picked up this unlikely metal tinnie - English, German Front Soldiers Meeting - Sept. 1935 I never thought such a tinnie would be struck. Apparently there was a meeting of WW1 German & English Veterans in Sept 1935. I wonder if any member has any further information, I seem to remember old film of Hitler meeting in a semi official capacity former WW1 English Staff Officers in Germany, but I hadn't realized there were meetings between rank & file soldiers as well. Does any member have more information, perhaps where the meeting took place?

    Cheers

    Interesting that a Google search results in this entry with the NordRhein-Westfalen Germany archives. Your tinnie has Sept 1935; so, likely a different location.

    Englisch-deutsches Frontkämpfer-Treffen in Brighton (England) 20.-27. Juni 1935 und Gegenbesuch der ReK Juli 1935

    Enthält : Presseberichte; Programm; Bericht über den Gegenbesuch

    Also, found a reference on a Potsdam.de website that indicates English veterans visited Potsdam on 18 July 1935.

    Hi Irishgunner,

    Thanks for the posts, I posted the badge on a specialist WW1 forum and got a similar responce, information on groups meeting up

    but nothing definate, pining down a group on this particular - September 1935. Thinking about it and judging that people took the trouble, to produce a metal badge, it must have been a fairly large group to warrant so much effort. Perhaps someone will turn up further information -I'll let you know if they do.

    Cheers
