WWII German Stickpin - Motorsport Stick Pin -
This is a German WWII stick pin. These items were issued to military, civilian and political individuals for various reasons. In the case of military personnel, a stickpin was given along with a full size award. The soldier could wear the stick pin instead of having to sport the full size badge.

Cars were still fairly new in Europe and the US. Not everyone owned one. As the Nazi party
won more power a series of motor clubs started to spring up. The major reason behind the
clubs was to transport people to the political rallies.
The design of the stick pin consists of a hollowed circle with a large cut-out swastika in
the center. The circle is black in color and has the following words written in silver
raised lettering PATE DER MOTORSTANDARTE 55 which translates to "Godfather of the engine banner".
The back of the stick pin has an issue number (2455) stamped. The pin is attached directly to
the main body.

Collecting Third Reich Stickpins
Collecting Third Reich memorabilia is a field that has been growing since the days the GI's rummaged around Europe
bringing back military souvenirs. German soldiers wore many of their awards on their uniforms when they went to
battle. Once the soldier was killed or captured, the American soldiers would take the awards as war trophies.
Eventually all these pieces came back to the United States where military history enthusiasts began to collect them.
