Original Outstanding High Quality Third Reich German Hitler Youth Desk Statue Award Certified By The Gettysburg Museum Of History

Original Outstanding High Quality Third Reich German Hitler Youth Desk Statue Award Certified By The Gettysburg Museum Of History. Sports in the early period of the Third Reich had an underlying, subversive role as a form of military training, due to the restrictions imposed on the Germans by the Treaty of Versailles. As a result, sporting events were very highly regarded by the NSDAP, and all manner of awards were issued on a national and local level to the victorious athletes. Even after the treaty was ignored, and military conscription imposed, sporting events for the German youth were still held in high esteem as pre-military training and toughening-up exercises. From the end of 1934 onwards, Hitler Youth Sports Festivals were held throughout Germany. Originally called a “Sport-” or “Jugendfest,” after 1937 they came to be known as “Reichsportwettkampf” (National-sport-competition).Hitler Youth HJ athletic competition desk statue award 12 inches tall, in Bronze on marble base, with presentation plaque dated 1938.  Nice example showing the expected minor age and wear overall good condition.
