WOW! I've never seen this pin or logo before, nor have I ever heard of the "Greater German Chess Federation" -- GSB!! Having belonged to a chess club in my (mis-spent) youth, this is of interest to me!

I wonder why this organization didn't call itself the NSGSB, like so many other NSDAP organizations did?!

Thank you, Ron -- you always teach us something new, and every day is a good day to learn via WAF!!

Cheers,
