“Deutsch ist die Saar” 1934 Tinnie – Saar Basin Referendum Badge (missing pin)
This 1934 “Deutsch ist die Saar” tinnie (Veranstaltungsabzeichen) commemorates the Saar Basin referendum held on January 13, 1935. In the referendum, voters decided whether the Saar Territory should remain under League of Nations administration, return to Germany, or join France. Over 90% of voters chose reunification with Germany.
The badge features a design of two men shaking hands, symbolizing the region’s return to German control, and is a significant piece of Third Reich memorabilia related to nationalist propaganda.
