Die Deutsche Partei (DDP) was one of the many German nationalist political groups of the 1920s and '30s. What you have is a membership pin of the organization. -

Not to be confused with DDP = Deutsche Demokratische Partei, not a nationalist, but a liberal party of the 20s and 30s.
Actually, I have never heard of a group called the "Deutsche Partei" in Weimar time. Was that a party or some different organization?

The pin just has DIE DEUTCHE PARTEI on it. Sorry, but I know nothing about this organization. Maybe somebody can post a picture of this pin? Thanks, everyone! FW 200Comment

For those with the Heering-Hüsken book this pin is pictured as #4009a. They valued this at DM250 in the 1997 edition. Probably worth it to a collector of esoterica, but a tough sale.
Just speculation, but possibly this DDP (there were several) may have been a short-lived Nazi cover organization during the prohibition period. The center design could have been a thinly disguised sunwheel swastika.Comment

When you look at the pin, it seems like it should be a swastica instead of a black cross, like an optical illusion of some sort! Thanks for reply. Do you know where to find the book you mentioned? FW 200Comment
