Third Reich Christmas photos....

[Frank55]

Hello friends,

hopefully, I'm in the right forum, if not please advise.

I'm wondering if anybody can post any period photo(s) of Christmas trees decorated with those ornaments embedded with swastika, ss rune, hitler bust and/or any other similar.
Any period newspapers advertising those items could also be interesting to see.

Numerous of those intact ornaments were "bodenfund" in the last years and offered for sale at high prices...
It would seem that some people want to believe that those decorations are authentic but I still didn't have the "fortune" to visualize any on actual period pictures or advertisements.

I will attached to this post some examples of the mentioned ornaments.

Thank you all in advance for your cooperation

From what I've read and watched in videos people seem to think these are pure fantasy pieces being sold by dishonest dealers. I'm not saying this as I am just a paper guy. But honestly, can you picture any woman spending hard earned money and putting these ugly ornaments on a Christmas Tree? The Germans made beautiful things during the days of National Socialism. I, again I am not an expert, cannot see them making this trash or any National Socialist polluting their Christmas Tree with it.

Hi BlackWatch1,

I completely agree with you .
I also think those ornaments are fantasy pieces and not truth with the workmanship of the period.
Everything was made with taste and honor in those time.
Hopefully, more WAF members will contribute to the thread and give their opinions about those ornaments.


All the best!

There were at least 2 dealers selling them at the SOS.
One box included ornaments depicting Hitler's head--no way it would have gotten by the RZM

Hi Stonemint,

thanks for advising that those ornaments found their way to the SOS.
Good point about the RZM.

All the best!
