SMGBB-01 Blut und Boden 1938 Table medal and Envelope *SOLD

These Blut Un Boden medals are really tough to find. Blut un Boden (Blood and Soil) refers to an ideology that focuses on ethnicity based on two factors, descent blood (of a folk) and territory. It celebrates the relationship of a people to the land they occupy and cultivate, and it places a high value on the virtues of rural living. This one is a heavy zinc at 70 grams and 60 mm diameter. The envelope is a rare treat, as they were often lost or discarded, although this is not specifically for this medal, and it is for a 1936 event. Never the less, they make a nice pairing. Included are some magazine clippings that the previous collector had used in his display.
