NSDAP Hermannsburg Anniversary Trophy
A trophy dated 1939 inscribed with the slogan “One Realm, One People, One Leader” on the obverse and a dedication on the reverse reading: Trophy | In commemoration of the 10th anniversary for the Hermannsburg branch of the N.S.D.A.P. | August 1939 | Donated by the municipality of Hermannsburg
A variant of the famous Nuremberg eagle as conceived by the Third Reich’s preeminent state sculptor Dr. Kurt Schmid-Ehmen. The slogan of “Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Führer” refers to the unshakable solidarity of Germany through blood, soil and their Führer. The concept of Blut und Boden (Blood and Soil) emerged from a longing for a simpler era, when peasants worked their land in harmony with nature, and when tribe and territory were one. This mystical past had profound romantic appeal on both the wider population and political elites. Meanwhile, Hitler acted as a messianic leader figure, with the philosopher Carl Jung reaching the metaphysical conclusion that Hitler was nothing other than his own unconscious, into which the German people projected their own selves; that is, he was but a vessel to carry out the collective, unconscious will of seventy-eight million Germans. This metaphysical unity is embodied by the Reichsadler atop the swastika, seen as the visual manifestation of the German nation-state.
