German Awards - Steel Helm Frauenbund Membership Badge

The Stahlhelm Frauenbund sign was probably introduced shortly after its foundation in 1926. It was worn at all social events and meetings.
The founding of the Steel Helmet Women's Union dates back to 1924. In Northern Germany, in Emden, local bands were founded as "Stahlhelm-Frauenhilfe." Already in 1926, women's groups called Stahlhelm Frauenenbund were created in the Oldenburg-Ostfriesland land union. The sign was a curved - F - on a steel helmet. F and the edging of the steel helmet is white, the substrate is blue. The goals of the right-wing radical union were: raising a female to participate in the great liberation cause of Germany from its enemies, promoting nationalist ideas among young people, and combating class and class differences. The Steel Helmet Women's Union had its own federal cargo. On the right forearm of the white blouse was worn the sign of the covenant, and below the ribbon with the designation of the land union or position in the union (Landesführer LV...). In 1932, many land associations already existed, such as Greater Berlin, East Saxony, Saxony, Nordmark and Weser-Ems. Local groups formed in areas without land government. Parts of Queen Louise's union joined the Frauenbund steel helmet, parts preserved separately as a union. In 1935, the Union, like the Steel Helmet front-line Union, was dissolved and, during unification, was included in the women's corps of the National Socialists.
