Does anyone have any interesting Third Reich religious items they would care to share? I am very interested in groups such as the German Christians, and have come across a nice pin or two, but do not see very much. Any input, suggestions, or postings are very much appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the forum!
We have a couple of collectors who are interested in chaplains items. If you try a search using words of interest to you, that should find some posts.
Here is one thread you might find of interest from forum member "Chap15", who is a serving US military chaplain.

Welcome to the forum. I just posted some Imperial chaplain items in the imperial forum.
I've only seen a German Christian Movement pin from a dealer in Germany. I've never seen a banner which would be very interesting to see.
Doris Bergen presents the movement as being very large, but I suspect that the movement lost much of its public fanfare before the war started which Bergen does acknowledge. Some of the ideas remained, but the movement overall was small IMO.
Let's see your pins.

I have a couple of non military religious items that come from graves of KIA German soldiers. Is that part of your interest?

Thank you, but I was asking for Haubman's opinion, not yours.

Here's a card I found in a Soldbuch. I figure the man must have been religious because of Nazi policy towards the church. The front.Last edited by JUNGCO; 09-12-2008, 08:10 AM.Comment

thank you all for your replies, and the items mentioned are extremely interesting. i am really hoping to find items of religious movements -e.g., the german christians - which were influenced by the nazis. admittedly, i only have one item thus far - it is an enamel pin of the "deutche christen" movement. again, thanks to everyone for their replies.Comment
