Wewelsburg heraldic plaque

[Military]

a real pity that most of these great books to read up are in german (not surprising). but that makes us not proficient in german real difficult to read and understand such great books.

Robin, did you ever learn the German language?

[Robin Lumsden]

Robin, did you ever learn the German language?

Nur ein wenig. Aber ich weiß genug, um zu verstehen, was ich verstehen muss.

Military,
If you would like to read more in the English language about the subject you might be able to find "Blood and Soil, Walter Darre & Hitler's Green Party".
It was written by Anna Bramwell and published by The Kensal Press in 1985. ISBN 0-946041-33-4.

A good tip Derek. Not such an easy book to locate however. The only copy Amazon has listed is almost $500 USD ...

Not hard to find...I just walk into my own private obsessional Bibliothek/library in the next room.

Seriously, though no historian's bio or survey of these authors will necessarily have much of straight translations from old nazi screeds. Any scholar worth their credentials has only bits and pieces of translated sentences and then pages of placing it in the context of the historian's arguements.

And even if you learn German, that is no guarantee you will grasp the obsolete Nazi-Deutsch words . Nor will you necessarily be able to figure out those inscrutible Alt-Schriften Fraktur letter type.

The author Dr. Anna Bramwell has been greatly chastised in historical journals and in intellectual Anti-Fas and far-left groups for seeming to show Darre in a positive light and down-play his anti-Semitism.

And I tend to agree with their points but also found the willingness to see Darre's world through his own eye's to be a refreshing change.

Cmon Mr Lumsden. get the ss cap and tunic onto that picture. I know you'd love to AWW come on!

NOw I know why he loves lists. whether they are true or not!
If you agree with me let me know I'll put you on the list!

WWWWOW I cant believe how I guessed so perfectly.

I'd like to think you did your homework, not just guess work.

Hi folks! I want to add to this brilliant thread some examples of SS-heraldry. First one is the crest of Richard Walther Darre, in so to say runic style, and the other is more traditional crest of Oswald Pohl by Karl Diebitsch.


Hm... But I don't understand how to attach images here)

Thanks!

So, this is the crest of Darre

That´s right - Darré, the head of Reichsnährstand and DHW.

One can see the original colored draft of it in the SS exhibition at Wewelsburg castle.

vague revelation

Quote from Thorsten in the Collector Community Forum in thread 'Have you got stuff you wont sell' on the Plaque:

"While doing research for my thesis I found the history behind and the origin of that specific wooden plaque."

Michael don't you know that all the answers are in books, especially ones that are lost through the hands of time?
