German WWII Jugendfest 1936 Bill Shea's Books was the premier military decorationGerman WWII Jugendfest 1936 This stamped steel tinnie was made for the national Hitler Youth (Hitlerjugend) sports festival held in Germany during 1936. It shows a large bold eagle with a HJ diamond on its chest. The steel has a natural finish, and good details. There is some very slight rusting throughout. The vertical pin functions as intended. The pin may have been re soldered, this looks to have been one a very long time ago.
