DRL/NSRL member's pin.
We suspect that this badge is made around 1938 when NSRL was changed to DRL. Old design of the badge but stamped DRL.
Excellent condition.
Magnetic badge with a nice bronze wash.
Marked on the back "Ges Gesch DRL" and a logo WH, possibly for the company Wilhelm Hobacher.
HISTORY
The National Socialist League of the Reich for Physical Exercise (German: Nationalsozialistischer Reichsbund für Leibesübungen, abbreviated NSRL), was the umbrella organization for sports and physical education in Nazi Germany. The NSRL was known as the German League of the Reich for Physical Exercise (German: Deutscher Reichsbund für Leibesübungen, abbreviated DRL) until 1938. The organization was expanded to Austria after that country's annexation by Nazi Germany.
The NSRL was led by the Reichssportführer, who after 1934 was at the same time presiding over the German National Olympic Committee. The NSRL's leaders were Hans von Tschammer und Osten (1933–1943), Arno Breitmeyer (1943–1944) and Karl Ritter von Halt (1944–1945).
