This Original Hindenburg Hitler Unity Medal with ribbon. Reverses reads “for a free, united, and proud Germany-Hitler”. Bronze, 30mm. Original ribbon in national tri-color with swastika.
Federal elections were held in Germany on 5 March 1933, after the Nazi seizure of power on 30 January 1933 and just six days after the Reichstag fire. The election saw Nazi stormtroopers unleash a widespread campaign of violence against the Communist Party (KPD), left-wingers, trade unionists, the Social Democratic Party, and the Center Party.?? They were the last multi-party elections in a united Germany until 1990.``
This Original Hindenburg–Hitler Commemorative Medal (Ehrenzeichen der Deutschen Wahl 1933) is a historically significant Third Reich award, issued to commemorate the pivotal national election of March 5, 1933. Struck in bronze and measuring approximately 30mm in diameter, the medal retains its original ribbon in the German national tri-colors, complete with the period swastika emblem.
The reverse bears the inscription: “Für ein freies, einiges und stolzes Deutschland – Hitler” (“For a free, united, and proud Germany – Hitler”), reflecting the political messaging of the era during the consolidation of power by the National Socialist regime.
Historically, the March 1933 election followed the appointment of Adolf Hitler as Chancellor on January 30, 1933 and occurred just days after the Reichstag fire. The election was marked by widespread political intimidation and violence, particularly directed against opposition groups such as the Communist Party (KPD), Social Democrats, trade unionists, and other political adversaries. It ultimately became the last multi-party election held in a unified Germany until 1990.
This example is a certified original piece and remains in excellent condition, displaying strong detail to the medal and vibrant, well-preserved ribbon—making it a desirable addition for collectors of WWII-era German political memorabilia.
