Description

Here’s your chance to own a beautiful NSDAP tunic for an early Kreisleiter. The early style Kreisleiter collar tabs are neatly hand sewn to the collar and are produced in gold bullion. Hand sewn earlier style wool armband. This tunic has award loops for a medal/ribbon bar and 1 badge. Signs of pin holes from other affixed pins, likely by a previous collector. In great condition overall and would be hard to upgrade. Tailor label on the interior collar. This is an interesting tunic as the black piping for the Kreis level, used from 1936-1939, was removed and replaced with white piping. This jacket is likely from the transitional period between uniform regulation changes before the new insignia was released but the piping color had changed. The award ribbon bar, Gold Party Badge, belt, and visor are for photographic purposes only and are not included in this listing, only the jacket and the armband sewn to it are included.

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!
