1935 Reich party rally of the NSDAP in Nuremberg, Membership Pass with Baldur von Schirach’s autograph

Germany / Third Reich (1933-1945)

The above 1935 Reichsparteitag Membership Pass with its perfectly struck green handstamp is by itself a desirable Party Rally artifact. Baldur von Schirach’s autograph acquired a month later significantly enhances its value. The Membership Pass was given Hanns Klaus Meyer of the Hitlerjugend, born 6 March 1920. At the time of the 1935 Reichsparteitag, he was residing at 21 Untere Schiede, Limburg (Lahn). He listed his Confession of Faith (Glaubensbekenntnis) as German. * The Hitlerjugend, of which he was a Region 13 (Gebiet 13) member, provided his Hospital Insurance (Krankenhilfe). *The Langenscheidt Standard Dictionary defines Glaubensbekenntnis as “creed” or “confession”. The National Socialists, however, gave this word additional meaning beginning with Hitler’s Mein Kampf. In that book he speaks of developing a political creed. The National Socialists were also favoring the “German Christian” movement in the mid-1930s in an attempt to indoctrinate the Protestant Churches.
