Reproduction WW2 regalia pins, badges, insignia of the German Third Reich 1935-1945
HJ: Hitler Youth (German: Hitlerjugend often abbreviated as HJ) was the second oldest paramilitary Nazi group 1922 to 1945, founded one year after its adult counterpart, the Sturmabteilung (the SA) of Nazi Germany and was created to recruit and train future soldiers for the Third Reich.
BDM: The League of German Girls in the Hitler Youth or Band of German Maidens (German: Bund Deutscher Mädel, abbreviated as BDM) was the girls' wing of the Nazi Party. The Bund Deutscher Mädel had its origins as early as the 1920s, in the first Mädchenschaften or Mädchengruppen, also known as Schwesternschaften der Hitler-Jugend (Sisterhood of the Hitler Youth). In 1930, it was founded as the female branch of the Hitler Youth movement.
Hitler Youth Illustrations (c.1936)
"My program for educating youth is hard. Weakness must be hammered away. In my castles of the Teutonic Order a youth will grow up before which the world will tremble. I want a brutal, domineering, fearless, cruel youth. Youth must be all that. It must bear pain. There must be nothing weak and gentle about it. The free, splendid beast of prey must once again flash from its eyes...That is how I will eradicate thousands of years of human domestication...That is how I will create the New Order." – Adolf Hitler, 1933.

THE MOST CANDID EXAMINATION OF FAKERS TO DATE!
"This book could save you a fortune and lots of embarrassment." ~ Michael Kelly, PzG Inc. President
Attics, basements, and garages have served as resting places for original nazi war souvenirs, booty, trophies, and collectibles liberated by soldiers during the war with Hitler. Each item had a story, like the GI who picked up a pistol from a dead German Waffen SS officer, took a nazi flag from a town square, or found Hitler's personal copy of Mein Kampf from his night stand at the Berghoff. Even after all these years nazi relics still capture our imagination.
But, as time passes so does the growing rarity of these artifacts and the resulting higher prices make them impossible for many to have in personal collection where they can be held and studied at leisure but PzG has changed all of that by making historically accurate reproductions available to buy at reasonable prices for collectors, re-enactors, teachers, military enthusiasts, and all students of WWII history.
