Hi Paul,

It says: "Musischer Wettbewerb der Hitler-Jugend 1944. Preis der Verwaltung für Kunst und Kulturangelegenheiten der Hansestadt Hamburg 1944" (Music and Dramatic competition of the Hitler Youth in 1944. Award of the Department of Arts and Cultural Affairs of the Hanseatic city of Hamburg). This was a Reich-wide music and arts competition instituted for the youth by Reichsjugendführer Axmann in that year and was designed to find and develop the very best within the Hitler Youth. Children from 14 years old (in certain cases 12 years old) and upward were eligible to take part.

He announced it with the slogan "Germany, Home of our Culture" and said: "in a time when the enemy believes he can obliterate our culture through the destruction of our cathedrals, works of art and our cities, the youth acknowledges the eternally creative power that our people posesses and which it will always posess"

Looks like a nice item. Are there any other inscriptions on it?
 
Hi Garry do not know yet the price was right so bought it before getting your knowledge, so will further communicate when it arrives, many thanks this is better than thought so far.:canada1
 
Oh, just a couple of pics from the side Paul so that we can see it from that angle too.
