Original Third Reich Reichsbund der Kinderreichen (RDK)- This pretty little enamel pin was for the Reichsbund der Kinderreichen (RDK), National League of Large Families. This was an organization that predated the NS Machtergreifung, but became an important tool of the regime. The aging body of the nation was of major concern to the government and party. This organization was important in emphasizing the crucial role of the family to the nation. The prominence of families with only one or two children and the sponsorship and protection of the Kinderreich family were issues of great concern in the years preceding the National Socialists Machtergreifung (seizure of power). This is a beautifully designed badge with a mother eagle with her five baby eagles under her wings. There is a slight chip in the enamel near the "K". On the back is is marked “Ges. Gesch.” and a ‘B’ logo for the manufacturer. Very good condition.
