Dutch Meeting Event Badge NSDAP Den Haag 1938
Dutch Meeting Event Badge NSDAP Den Haag 1938. Commemorative enamel pin or badge from Den Haag (The Hague), Netherlands, dated 1938, featuring multiple national flags, including that of Nazi Germany. Given the 1938 date and international flag layout, it most likely commemorates:? An international conference, competition, or exhibition held in The Hague, 1938.Possible contexts:International youth, sports, or scouting event — The Hague hosted several during the late 1930s.Diplomatic or friendship gatherings involving European nations (before WWII).Tourism or trade exhibition celebrating European cooperation.Including the German swastika flag indicates the Nazi regime’s official participation, as by 1938 Germany was still diplomatically active in Western Europe (just before the war, e.g., Munich Agreement period).The stork is a traditional symbol of The Hague, appearing on its city coat of arms since the 16th century.The array of flags suggests peaceful international cooperation, ironic in hindsight given 1938’s political tensions.The presence of both the British and Nazi German flags captures a brief moment when Europe was still engaging diplomatically — just a year before WWII began.
