Dutch SS Sports Badge Details

[Runic]

And here you have, the actual, REAL Dutch SS Sports Badge award document, blank, as the only known examples are (two known), and EXTREMELY RARE:

As Christopher Ailsby told me, the intention to create the Dutch SS Badge was overtaken by events - Himmler reorganized the SS. He created a new badge for Holland and the Nordic countries. A new badge was created which made the Dutch SS Badge redundant.
According to Ailsby, the Germanische Leistungsrune was the badge which took precedence. It was awarded first in Holland, then Norway, then Prague, and possibly Flanders by the end of the war.
Like the Dutch SS Sports Badge Booklet, here are Extremely Rare images of the Germanische Leistungsrune - feast your eyes on another rarity you will not likely see in your lifetime:

So we have the truth, which is all we wanted.
Thanks to all those who supported me on this search. We have the consolation of knowing, Without a Doubt, that Feldmeyer's Idea of the Dutch SS Sports Award went all the way to the production of the Award Document stage. Yes, it was on the very edge of being awarded. No one can deny it.


We also know that the award itself, shown in the "Storm Blad Der Nederlandsche SS", even though not produced during the war, was so incredibly attractive to collectors that it spawned, after the war, an entire era of examples that fascinated countless collectors.

It seems Feldmeyer's vision - what was only his "IDEA," caught hold of the imagination of the public in a way that equals actual, real awards of the Third Reich. I believe it is because the award itself is a classic, a beautiful award.

I know the truth now, and I admit it. They weren't produced. But I know my example is one of the earliest "fakes" produced, and I will put it alongside my other medals. Not real - but - loved, nonetheless.

Because Christopher Ailsby and Angolia, Littlejohn major collectors are does not mean that they are experts in Dutch collaboration.
So I can indicate more things that are not true, and in the books many mistakes.
It's just what you want to believe what they (the experts) claim, and that without a good source, now take the NSKK helmet or jeugdstorm officer’s beld bukle, etc ......... .. etc.

Jan,
thanks for your input. You say you have knowledge of what is not true about the posts. Why don't you share your knowledge?

I said the badges weren't produced. You seem to disagree. Are you saying, Jan, that the Dutch SS Sports badges WERE produced???

I think we may have a language barrier problem here.

You do realize that I said the badges were never struck. Are you saying that because experts who have been in the field for decades say they weren't produced, they are wrong somehow? Are you saying that the badges were produced? What Are you trying to say??

You say just because someone is a recognized expert, doesn't mean they are right about Dutch militaria. You seem to indicate that you know more than they do - that you have the inside information of this topic. OK - please share it with the forum. What is it that you know, Jan???

Please share what you say you seem to know about these badges with the Forum - and if possible, confine your comments to the topic - the Dutch SS Sports Badge.

I'm sure everyone would appreciate it if you gave us actual, constructive comments about this topic

That is what the Wehrmacht Awards Forum is for - sharing and learning and enjoying the subjects that fascinate us all.

Don't be shy -Enlighten us, Jan!!!

I think we May have a language barrier problem here.
That's right, I can not speak English language.

And if they do not get it right again to deceive people a rare prototype.

Jan,
Ik zei in mijn post die deze badges niet tijdens de oorlog gemaakt werden. Dus de discussie is voltooid.
