History


The Badge was likely instituted in late 1933, and was conferred upon individuals in Gau Baden (district) who served in the Nazi Party during the Kampfzeit or “Time of Struggle” when the Nazis struggled to gain political power.

The Nazi Regime divided Germany into a series of districts of “Gaue” to facilitate nationwide Party administration.

The Gold Badges were awarded to Nazi Party members who joined before November 9, 1923.

The Silver Badges were awarded to Nazi Party members who joined before October 27, 1927.

Large Badges were awarded to men, while Small Badges were awarded to women.
