Fest der Jugend Badge, June 1933
One of the early badges of National Socialist youth propaganda, issued for the Fest der Jugend (Festival of Youth) held in June 1933. The design is minimalist, depicting a nude youth in a classical pose holding a raised torch—symbolizing purity, strength, and the renewal of Germany. The reverse typically features a simple pin without markings. This event marked the official beginning of the transition of youth organizations under Hitlerjugend control, becoming part of the early Gleichschaltung policy. The badge is classified as a rally badge (Treffenabzeichen) and was awarded to participants of the celebrations and parades. Made of aluminum or zinc, occasionally of buntmetall, depending on the variant.
