Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE East German Thälmann Pioneers Trumpet with Pennant Flag Rare DDR Banner circa 1970s-80s. This is GURANTEED 100% GENUINE DDR items manufactured in Communist East Germany, made before the collapse of the Berlin Wall and reunification of Germany. The trumpet measures 21 ½” long including the mouthpiece, in nickel-plated brass. The pennant is 12 ½” x 12” excluding the fringe. In 2-layer cotton with embroidered emblem of the Thälmann Pioneers on one side and an inscription on the other reading “Oberschule Lichterfelde” (Lichterfelde High School). In very good condition. The trumpet shows a few shallow dents, evidence of its veteran status and careless attitude of the pioneers handling it. The pennant is in very good to excellent condition. The embroidery is pristine, and so is the fringe. There are a couple of very small and unobtrusive stains on the fabric which are not very noticeable and should be easily washed if so desired. The Ernst Thälmann Pioneer Organization was a youth organization for schoolchildren aged 6 to 13 in East Germany. They were named after the former leader of the Communist Party of Germany who was executed in the Buchenwald concentration camp. The group was part of the Freie Deutsche Jugend (Free German Youth), very similar ideologically and structurally to the Young Pioneers and Komsomol (or Young Communist League) in the USSR. The goals of both were the same – Marxist-leninist indoctrination of the young minds. FREE SHIPPING (USPS 1st cl. Mail) WITHIN USA ONLY! We WILL NOT ship our eBay items outside USA.
