Scope & content
Round medal pin. A sparkling red circle contours a white circle. In the middle of the white circle is a black swastika. The contours of the swastika are outlined in enamel. The swastika is big enough so that its four corners are touching the white circle's circumference. The white circle and the red circle are outlined in enamel. On the red contouring circle is written NATIONAL-SOZIALISTISCHE-D.A.P. in enamel. Narrative: There were two versions of the Party Badge of the Nazi Party : the 'Golden Party Badge' ('Goldenes Parteiabzeichen', officially 'Goldenes Ehrenzeichen der NSDAP') and the basic 'Party Badge'('Parteiabzeichen der NSDAP'). The Golden Party Badge was the basic Nazi Party Badge with the addition of a gold wreath completely encircling the badge. The Golden Party Badge was awarded to the first 100,000 members of the party and to people who had shown outstanding service to the Party or State. The Golden Party Badge was associated with the 'Alte Kämpfer' (Old combatants : those who joined the NSDAP before 1930) and those favored by the Führer, the Nazi Party elite. The basic Party Badge was given to the people who joined the Party after 1930. After Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, there were a rush of applications from Germans to join the NSDAP. The older members regarded these new members with contempt, seeing their applications as more opportunism than idealism. The basic Nazi Party badge were sarcastically referred to as 'die Angstbrosche' (The Badge of Fear) by the old members. GES.GESCH.: Gesetzlich geschützt (legally protected).
