German WW2 Hallenkampfspiele der Oberrheinischen HJ 1942 cased victory award
The term HJ Hallenkampfspiele refers to the indoor athletic and competitive sports games organized by the Hitler Youth (Hitlerjugend or HJ) during the Nazi era. These events focused on high-performance physical training and paramilitary conditioning (Wehrertüchtigung).
Major competitions, such as the indoor championships (Hallenkampfspiele), were held in major German cities like Stuttgart, featuring qualified regional champions and thousands of spectators.
The events were not standard school athletics. They featured elite youth competitors in disciplines like gymnastics, track and field, swimming, and boxing.
A seldom seen award, probably just a few issued for this specific event.
This is for the winner of the event "Dem Sieger / To the Victor".
Since this is a late award it was made of silvered zinc, tombak and buntmetal was used for the war industry by this time.
Diameter roughly 62 mm. It's really heavy
Comes in its original dark blue case. Thanks to the label on the back we know that the company BH Mayer produced it.
Overall a very nice set that most likely never would find again.
