Excuse me if I am rude but this Hitler statue is not beautiful. It is appaling, the paint looks like spray paint! if someone was making a statue of Hitler during the third riech they would have paid great attention to thier work. and a Hitler statue in my appinion gives very bad vibes.
Sorry if my oppinion is offensive and I have not read the posts right but I am just speaking my mind.

Agreed. Kitschy, poorly painted and just plain ugly. Selling this garish representation of Hitler during the Third Reich period might have soon resulted in a visit from some men in peaked caps telling one not to continue doing so, methinks.

Hi,
I havent had much time to sell anything over the past 6 months so yes, I think this one is still available. Feel free to make me an offer on it if interested.
Out of all the pieces I inherited, this one was one of the cooler ones I thought. Maybe it was just the fact that this was the only color one I had tho as the group here seems to think its pretty ugly
Thnx

Did anyone notice the statue incorrectly displays a SS kampfbinde? I agree that this is far below the quality of period work. Frankly it is just another product of the 4th Reich.

Kitsch is a german word that came into use during the mid 20's that addresses this sort of thing perfectly. According to Webster's, kitsch is"something that appeals to popular or lowbrow taste and is often of poor quality". It is mostly created to cash in on popular events or individuals. This sort of crassly produced junk has been made to cash in on the popularity of leaders going back to Roman times, and the nazi's were susceptible to it as well. Keep in mind the state of adoration for Hitler and the party that was so prevalent in the pre and early war years. It appealed to the common man who lived as hard as they worked, and who wanted their own piece of Hitler to keep in their personal place of honor. Tons of junk of this nature was produced, some of it truly bizzarre. Everything from fireworks to toys, Christmas decorations to lingerie and so on. There was a hunger and need to fulfill, thus cheaply made product like this was quite widespread for awhile. As for the question of the Nazi's allowing for stuff of this questionable quality, it really is quite simple. It fulfilled the purpose of marketing the party in ways that propaganda alone can't. Couple that with the fact that it provided economic stimulation (people spending money on goods produced in their country is ALWAYS GOOD for the economy). This junk was politically golden.
