Description: |
In 1933, the National Socialist German Workers Party came to power and the infamous Third Reich was born. Two years later in 1935, the Treaty of Versailles, which Germany signed after World War I, was renounced and the rise of Adolph Hitler’s power began. Military personnel, as well as citizens, wore the armband with the swastika, the political symbol of the Third Reich. The handkerchief promotes the pre-war German flag as well as the Nazi Party flag. |
