German WWII Third Reich Named Beer Stein - 'Heinrich Andreae' - A glass beer stein with honeycomb-cut faceted body and lid in what appears to be pewter. The lid is engraved with a central swastika motif above the personal name 'Heinrich Andreae', with the inscribed motto 'Nationalsozialist sein, heisst Kampfer sein' around the rim, flanked by smaller swastika stamps. The clear glass body shows typical pressed dimpled/honeycomb pattern with an applied glass handle.Personalized steins of this kind were common presentation or commemorative pieces within Nazi Party organisations during the Third Reich, often marking membership, service anniversaries, or events within a local branch (Ortsgruppe) or affiliated formation. The inscribed motto, ”To be a National Socialist means to be a fighter, ” reflects standard Party rhetoric emphasizing militant commitment to the movement's ideology, frequently used in propaganda and internal ceremonial contexts. Such items were typically produced for individual members rather than issued through official state channels, with the named recipient likely a Party official or long-serving functionary honored by his local group.
