    Also on the occasion of the 1. German "Dichterfahrt" 1936 the writers and members of the Bamberg poets' circle: Hans Brandenburg, Heinrich Zerkaulen, Hans Franck, Ernst Ludwig Schellenberg, Stefan Andres, Roland Betsch, and Hans Christoph Kaergel. On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the German singers alliance 1937 a.o. Bundesführer Albert Meister and Heinrich Vetter, representative Gauleiter of South Westfalia.
    On the occasion of the "15th anniversary of the Führer's invasion of Coburg on 14th and 15th October 1937 ... the bearers of the Coburg badge of honour" with nearly 70 signatures of the approx. 400 bearers of the decoration, among them Duke Carl Eduard, former Gauleiter of the Deutsche Völkische Schutz- und Trutzbund Hans Dietrich et al. Also several participants from Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia who attended the "Congress of International Front Fighters" 1938.

    The history of the NSDAP in Northern Bavaria is closely related to "March to Coburg" in October 1922. As Gauleiter of the Deutsch-Völkische Schutzbund Hans Dietrich had invited the NSDAP to attend the "German Day" in Coburg under the condition that Hitler appeared in person. Coburg subsequently became a bastion of National Socialism: it was the first German city in which the NSDAP won absolute majority in the city council elections in 1929 and which granted Hitler honorary citizenship in 1932. In commemoration of the "March to Coburg" Hitler introduced the Coburg badge of honour in 1932, one of the highest distinctions awarded to party members.
    Historically significant document.

                    No Mil, I would love to have it but it's a little out of my price range at this time.

                      Once again for fans of the Coburg Badge and it's history, here's a photo from the Anniversary of the Battle in 1937, of the NSDAP House in Coburg. Hitler attended the Anniversary in Coburg in Oct. of that year.

                        That book alone will go for upwards of 25,000.USD IMO. Looks like a guest book.

                          I agree, a guest book for a very important anniversary and with lots of important signatures.

                            This one would have deserved to end up in your collection Erich!

                            I was thinking about bidding on it myself, but as said, it will most likely go very high so i'll rather bid on some Göring stuff
