NAZI Germany: Scarce donation badge issued for
the 1935 German Grand Prix supporting the 1936
Summer Olympics.
Maker marked by Stubbe and stamped “Ges.
Gesch.” for protected design.
A scarce Olympic badge.
Interesting fact: Despite every expectation
the Italian driver Tazio Nuvolari, in an outdated
330 bhp Alfa Romeo won the race.
The undisputed favorite to win the Grand Prix,
the German driver Manfred von Brauchitsch,
in the most powerful racing car, the 445 bhp
W25 Mercedes Benz came 5th.
The Nazi officials being so certain about the
inevitable German triumph had only available
to play, during the award ceremony, the
German anthem "Deutschland Uber Alles".
The lack of a recording of the Italian anthem
was solved by the winner Nuvolari himself
who offered his own record of the "Marcia
Reale", that he always carried with him as a
good luck charm.
