Organisational Badges A Gold Party Badge with a name

[Erich S]

I wanted to share this 24mm Deschler GPB from my collection that's attributed to SS Standartenfuhrer Max Sollmann who was the head of Lebensborn and on Himmlers personal staff. He was also awarded the Blood Order, Honor ring and SS Degan.

Thanks for your reply hesse fee, it's pretty rare to find a GPB attributed to an SS member let alone a high level one such as Sollmann. Best, Erich

Very nice Golden Party badge, Erich!

If I may ask, does it have a great story behind it? for example a local find or came from a family member etc...and have you been able to locate the other items that you had mentioned; Blood order, Degen, and ring? It is unfortunate that groupings get split up so often

regards

Hello Henry, it was an indirect Vet buy and it came out of Karl Wolf's house along with a few pieces of Allach. Wolf was the head of Himmler's personal staff and Sollman was also on the staff. The badge is the only Sollman item that I own. Best, Erich

Here's the capture photo of Sollmann from 1945 before going on trial at Nurnberg.

Stunning badge Erich!

Thanks again for the kind words everyone. Does anyone else have a GPB that they want to share from a notable TR personality?

Sollmann spent a total of about 3 years in jail, from 45-48. One interesting fact about Sollmann, was that he was of the youngest participants of the Putsch at age 19.
