German 1932 'Grossdeutschertag' Berchtesgaden Tinnie Badge - A shield-shaped tinnie commemorating the 'Grossdeutschertag' event held under Adolf Hitler in Berchtesgaden, dated 10.VII.1932. The obverse depicts a mountain range with a raised swastika and the event title. The badge is struck in a metal that appears to be gilt/brass-toned, likely tombak or similar alloy. No maker mark is clearly visible in the photos provided.Tinnies of this kind were inexpensive souvenir badges sold at Nazi Party rallies and regional gatherings during the early 1930s, worn briefly to show participation before being discarded or kept as mementoes. The 1932 'Grossdeutschertag' event in Berchtesgaden took place in the period before Hitler's appointment as Chancellor, when the NSDAP was consolidating support in Bavaria and staging mass meetings to project unity and popular strength. Such badges were produced cheaply and in large numbers by local manufacturers, making them common collectibles today documenting the Party's pre-1933 propaganda and rally culture.
