N030964 DRKB TWENTY-FIVE YEAR LONG SERVICE AWARD DOCUMENT. (Urkunde für Treudienst Ehrenzeichen)
BACKGROUND: The DRKB, Deutscher Reichskriegerbund (Kyffhäuserbund), (German National Association of Veterans, Kyffhäuser Association), was formed during WWI, and was based on the DKB, Deutscher Kriegerbund (German Veterans Association), originally formed after the war of 1870-71. The addition of "Kyffhäuser" in the associations name referred to the Kyffhäuser mountain where a large war memorial had been erected. The goal of the association was to preserve the morale and comradeship of former soldiers and to financially assist its members if required. On March 29TH 1938 the DRKB was renamed NS-RKB, Nationalsozialistische-Reichskriegerbund, (National Socialist-State Soldiers League), by the NSDAP and amalgamated with most of the earlier veterans associations into one national organization. Uniform and headgear regulations of the DRKB/NS-RKB were introduced prior to 1933 and were modified again in 1936 and 1938.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Roughly, 15cm x 21cm, mid-weight paper, document with black printed script. Awarded on, "12. Marz 1934". Authorizing signature of a Generalleutnant with the appropriate command inkstamp. Has been two hole punched.
