Ja Stickpin

[RonR]

This is a stickpin worn by the party faithful who wanted to show solidarity with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.

The Ja or 'yes' showed the world that the wearer would vote National Socialist.

I have one of those, although I've forgotten where I picked it up from.

Hi Ron,

My impression of the "Ja" pin is that it was produced by the German government as an expression of assent to the Anschluss in 1938 -- the unification of Austria with the Reich. I believe there were other, similar, expressions of this theme as seen in fliers, post cards, posters, etc. A nice political remembrance!

It's a pin-badge issued in connection with the Nazis election efforts in 1933. Their slogan was ' Dein Ja - dem Fuhrer !' ( ' Your Yes - for the Fuhrer !' ) - a 'yes' vote enabled the Nazi Party to take power.

These pin badges were made in huge numbers for people to wear to signify their voting intentions - and in later years, were proudly worn to show how the wearer voted
Nice pin !

Don't know where this information comes from. It's clearly a sticker for Austria's annexation and was only worn temporarly at this time. I never saw a later pic of a bearer.
This picture was made in my own hometown in March 1938...

Kind regards, Peter
