Three versions of this Breker piece are noted. All examples were cast by the Prussian Mining and Smelter Company Gleiwitz. The first example noted is a small 19cm variant in Iron. Breker created this piece to celebrate Hitler's 50th Birthday. The second variant and less common, is a larger example in bronze at 43cm in size.

The third variant was made to commemorate the completion of the New Reich's Chancellery in 1939. Shown is the third variant in the 43cm size and Signed A. Breker. Arno Breker is probably the most notable artist of the period and was responsible for some of the greatest and most important works of the Reich.
