A BEAUTIFULLY CASED
ADOLF HITLER HEIMKEHR (HOMECOMING) MEDAL STRUCK BY THE PRUSSIAN STATE MINT IN BERLIN |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This is a very rare medal struck to commemorate one of the most joyous events of the Third Reich - the repatriation of countless thousands of ethnic Germans who had lived outside the Reich for many years. (For more information about Heimkehr ins Reich, click HERE.). |

| The 50 mm (about 2 inch) diameter bronze medal was produced in a very limited quantity in about 1940 by the Prussian State Mint in Berlin, and comes in its original maroon, velvet lined box with a large golden eagle and swastika embossed on the cover. The obverse of the medal is a deep relief right-side profile of the Nazi Party Führer and German Chancellor with the letters ADOLF HITLER along the left edge. On the reverse are the words Zur Erinnerung an die Heimkehr ins Reich (In Remembrance of Homecoming to the Reich). |

| The repatriation of ethnic Germans from places like Bessarabia, Russia, the Ukraine, Krim, etc. was a pet project of Adolf Hitler and Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler and was handled in a very businesslike but friendly manner ONLY BY the Sicherheitsdienst (SD or Security Service) of the SS. Himmler was photographed warmly greeting a few of the returnees at the border of Germany and may very well have presented this medal to one of them himself. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Very rare and in very good condition.
