    1. Probably the badges were "in town" souvenirs and not of the trip itself, which may have covered the general area. Pete
    2. Just had a quick look in Tieste, there are eight listed, non with a swastika,( I enamelled, 1 wood, 5 metal, 1 cardboard) but one is for, and has, the SA motif (cardboard) Just lifed this from Wikipedia, interesting in light of your idea. Rothenburg held a special significance for Nazi ideologists. For them, it was the epitome of the German 'Home Town', representing all that was quintessentially German. Throughout the 1930s the Nazi organisation "KDF" ("Kraft durch Freude") Strength through Joy organized regular day trips to Rothenburg from all across the Reich. This initiative was staunchly supported by Rothenburg's citizenry – many of whom were sympathetic to National Socialism – both for its economic benefits and because Rothenburg was hailed as "the most German of German towns". In October 1938 Rothenburg expelled its Jewish citizens, much to the approval of Nazis and their supporters across Germany. Pete
    3. Nice set, but not stricly tinnies, they are donation badges with the money going to the DJH (youth hostels). My next is an upgrade for me of an Innsbruck SA tinnie, then I noticed the HJ logo (missed it the first time) so I will post it here as well.
    4. Joe, you mean as per Tieste? If so, no, I was listing mine by date before I heard of him, and with over 2000 it would be a bit of a chore now. Although there is the search function which will show all with the same name or date that I use on my picture files, but I havn't got them all scanned yet. Its a thought if I get VERY bored. Pete
    5. Thank you gentlemen, I was particularly taken with the talk? on the KdF. I have only seen brochues for 3 or 4 of the really big events. pete
    6. A soak in WD40 and some careful work with a plastic toothpick may help. (I use a scalpel...very carefully!) Pete
    7. Last page, hope you weren't too bored. Looks like the printer was the Kreisleiter. Pete I just googled the place, its quite a large city, so perhaps the event was in keeping with its size.
    8. Aquired this along with some tinnies. I used to think that these events were no more than a couple of speeches and a march through the town, but this shows differently. It seems to start with music and a salute, then three days of talks on all sorts of subjects by all sorts of people, and only ends with the march past. The tinnie. Then the brochure.
