Germany 1937 Kreistag Aachen Stadt Land Tinnie

1937 Kreistag Aachen Stadt Land Tinnie i excellent condition. Made of steel silvered.

The inscription on the badge – "KREISTAG AACHEN-STADT-LAND" – clearly indicates that it was produced for the 1937 NSDAP congress for the city (Stadt) and rural (Land) districts in Aachen. The year 1937 marked the full consolidation and centralization of Adolf Hitler's power, two years before the outbreak of World War II. Local congresses (Kreistage) served to discipline party structures, demonstrate the regime's power at the regional level, and provide ideological training for members. The geopolitical significance of Aachen: The city lies directly on the border with Belgium and the Netherlands. For the Nazis, who remilitarized the Rhineland in 1936, the demonstration of German nationalism and NSDAP power on the very western fringes of the Reich had crucial propaganda significance.
