As always, very nice Jon! this is a very special day for all us Political junkies! Another teen at the Putsch was Max Sollmann later the Chief of Lebensborn, who was 19 at the time, who held BO# 1503. I only have his GPB and not his BO unfortunately.

Great display Erich and great thread, and as always very impressive Jon, very impressive both of you!

Wonder what we would have collected if someone had been accepted in to Art School............................................ ......

I don't have a political display photo right here and now, so the only photo of something political i found is this.

Otto Ertl was a baker living in dowtown Munich and, as a member of Bund Oberland participated in the failed 8/9 November 1923 Putsch.

Ertl went on to join the SS (1.SS-Standarte "Julius Schreck") and was one of the organizations earliest members, with SS number 4,564. He was promoted to SS-Untersturmführer in 1935 and SS-Obersturmführer in 1938, served with the LSSAH in the 1939 Polish and 1940 French campaigns and by 1945 was serving as a officer at Flossenbürg.

Here's Ertl's Blutorden, today, and in wear 73 years ago at the 1937 Reichspartitag, where he was the standard bearer for the 1.SS-Standarte "Julius Schreck."

The second photo is also of Ertl - again with the very same blood order in wear.
