Attributed Gold Party Badge- Political Leader # 3043
Beautiful little 24mm Deschler here and mint for all practical purposes. Attributed to Orts level political leader Willy Kohler. Will was Born in 1897 and joined the N.S.D.A.P IN 1928. Like many of these guys have interesting backgrounds this guy has been tossed out of the party in 1941 due to an accusation by a neighbor woman of sexual advances and using his political position to gain entry to her home. The case went to trial in 1941 and while he was found guilty his position as a gold party badge holder he was given only a 3 year probation and required to return his badges and he would not see them again until they were returned in 11/44. Might explain the condition. File is included and is 12 pages. A very nice example and if someone wanted but one Deschler this could certainly be a candidate.
