    KPD – Kampfbund Rotfront/Roter Frontkämpferbund (Communist Party of Germany/Red Front Fighters League)

    From the German Communist party, 1920’s. It was banned in 1929 and when the Nazi Party took over, many members were among the first arrested and sent to concentration camps. Others escaped to Spain, joined the Centura Thälmann of the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War to fight against the Nationalists and later joined the Soviet Red Army to fight against Nazi Germany.

    Very nice pieces, really! But I have to make a correction: The KPD and the RFB were not banned in 1929 and the Nazis did not take over power in Germany in 1929 either, both only happened 4 years later, in 1933.

    Default KPD Leader Thaelmann Bronze Plaques

    I own these two beautiful bronze plaques with the beautifully portrayed likeness of Ernst 'Teddy' Thaelmann. They come from the famous German sculptor Johannes Friedrich Rogge and were made in the 'Kunst- und Glockengiesserei' Lauchhammer in Saxony during the GDR era in the 1960s. - Ernst 'Teddy' Thaelmann, Leader of KPD and RFB, was a great man and a great Leader of the German working class. It will always be a shame what was done to him after 1933!
