Garry, yes that's common knowledge, and also mentioned over and over in the RZM papers, even with direct reference to specific court cases, trails and punishments, but none of them are for items like Souvenirs and general Sympathy items, Jewelry watches etc etc....and as we can read right at the start of the RZM papers, in June 34 when the RZM changed their minds and specifically allowed Watchmakers, Jewelers and Goldsmiths to make and sell Jewelry with the Insignia on.... and so on.... but has effect on what i am actually referring to, like Sympathy items, Souvenirs etc.... that is directed towards the incorrect and/or defamatory use of the Hoheitssymbol, and not the Symbol per say. So as informative as it is, it has no bearing at all on Nazi Kitsch as such, depending what you mean when you say Kitsch i guess, for me, Swastika necklaces, watches and such fall into the category Kitsch too. So it`s no indication that these kind of items, like what started this thread off were not allowed to be made after 1933 unfortunately.
Christian is right, the law could, and indeed was, interpreted very differently, changed, twisted adapted, etc etc, as you will see by the many Updates of the Law you posted mentioned a great deal through the mid 30`s... and amended etc etc.
How much Kitsch was produced for events like the 1936 Olympics? the Reichsparteitage etc etc....
You know how hard it was for the RZM to actually get control of the Makers and sellers, and get them all dancing in line .... it took years, from the start of the RZM until the laws were being followed by all, maybe 10 years!! and i doubt that their main issue was fighting against Nazi Kitsch makers, even Bad kitsch, or defamatory stuff, although after war broke out, i guess your neighbor would have ratted you out to the Gestapo possibly for making Adolf-Toilet paper
. Maybe i should have been more specific, and not called it all Kitsch, but it`s not this law though, i was hoping to find some direct reference to general items that bore the swastika, like are mentioned by the RZM in 34. I would have thought, or hoped, that everyone knew about this law passed after the NS took over anyway?
Maybe it`s because of someones wrong interpretation of this Law, that it has generally come to be accepted that in 1933 all the Kitsch was banned? Hope not, because that is not what the law is saying, or said in any of the revised and updated versions. Maybe this is as far as it went? and it was left open to interpretation, ie: depending on who found what offensive or not? Probably, and also Typical NS laws, leave the doors wide open to include your Grandmother and cousins later on if they needed, and the cat!
