Cheers Don it owes me ?30, which i think is a very good price,but like you say if no one wants it then its worthless

I like finding items that not many people have seen before if ever its a buzz!!

Sean

Hi Don thanks for the reply. i found the 1st post that was the one that brought me to the forum in the first place but i missed the 2nd post.

any idea on rarity or value? i know these things are hard to value but i would like to get some idea.

regards

Sean

It looks like a membership badge to the German Christian party, a Protestant organization that supported the Nazi ideals all throughout the war. You will see several versions of their membership badges--one is a cross with a swastika somewhere on the badge (like you have)--the second type will be in green, with a large back cross with swastika in the central portion of the cross. This version really became their symbol.

The GC movement was dedicated to Nazifying Christianity by taking the Jew out of Christ. In their ideas, they changed Jesus from being a Jewish Carpenter to a Aryan god. They attempted to spread Nazi ideology to the troops, rather than teach religion. There is a great example of this in the book, Priester im Heere Hitlers where Catholic Chaplain, Father Perau is stunned when his Protestant counterpart (a DC member) gives a sermon straight from the Nazi playbook and never once mentions the Bible.

I believe the DC become so militant--even the regular hard core Nazi's didnt really know what to do with them.

It is rarer than most III Reich Tinnies, but not quite as valuable as the political ones--I would say $50-75 USD

Hi Chris many thanks for that. very interesting that they became so militant, probably quite scarry in their day

Sean
