Here is your chance to pick up an original German political officer’s cross strap. Assman marked clip. Also included are both of the matching pebbled D-ring belt loops. Dark brown or nearly black leather with gold-wash fittings. The leather, not including the pebbled spring clip measures roughly 36-1/8″ in length (not including the belt loops) and is adjustable. The metal fittings are gold-washed aluminum and they are fully functional. The leather is still soft and supple overall. This would be a fantastic example to put on display with other field gear of the period. Absolutely guaranteed authentic!The National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated NSDAP), was a far-right political party in Germany that was active between 1920 and 1945, that created and supported the ideology of National Socialism. The Nazi Party emerged from the German nationalist, racist and populist Freikorps paramilitary culture, which fought against the communist uprisings in post-World War I Germany. Initially, Nazi political strategy focused on anti-big business, anti-bourgeois, and anti-capitalist rhetoric, although this was later downplayed to gain the support of business leaders, and in the 1930s the party’s main focus shifted to anti-Semitic and anti-Marxist themes. Adolf Hitler, the party’s leader since 1921, was appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg on 30 January 1933. Hitler rapidly established a totalitarian regime known as the Third Reich. After the death of President Hindenburg on 2 August 1934, Hitler merged the offices of party leader, head of state and chief of government in one, taking the title of Führer und Reichskanzler. The NSDAP would control Germany until the end of the war.Free shipping ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD & I don’t charge PayPal fees like some of the other guys!
