Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. The National Socialist War Victim's Care (Nationalsozialistische Kriegsopferversorgung or NSKOV) was a social welfare organization for seriously wounded veterans as well as frontline fighters of World War I. The NSKOV was established in 1934 and was affiliated to the NSDAP Party. The headquarters of the organization was in Kreuzberg, Berlin (at the time called the SW 68 district) and employed the architect Willy Muehlau to design cheap residential complexes for NSDAP war veterans. These complexes emerged some time between the late 1920s and early 1930s and are protected according to the City of Berlin's Denkmalliste (monument list).
This 23 ¼” × 32 ¾” poster features a member of the NSKOV with an NSDAP flag on a pole slung over his shoulder, with the Brandenburg gate in the background. Above this is the NSKOV emblem, and the text Reichstreffen! Berlin 1. Aug. 1937 (National Meeting! Berlin 1 August 1937), with Olympia-Stadion (Olympic Stadium) at the bottom.
Following the Olympics in 1936, the Olympic Stadium was used for many meetings for various NSDAP organizations, such as the NSKOV. The poster advertises the 1937 meeting, and is in very good condition, with the colors well retained. It does show a good amount of wrinkling towards the bottom, and there is some tearing towards the edges of the poster.
This is a wonderful opportunity to add a genuine WW2 German NSKOV meeting poster from the pre WWII era. Comes ready to display!
