Notes
- Abstract:
- Circular bronze medallion with obverse depicting a portrait of Adolf Hitler, leader of the national Germany state of unity; reverse depicts a block of coat-of-arms chained to two pillars, each topped with a swastika; commemorating the occasion of the abolishing of the separate states of the Republic on January 30, 1934; Goetz claims he put a subtle hint into this medal that this event was not so desirable by showing the block of coat-of-arms representing the states being 'chained' to two pillars with the swastika; inscription on reverse translates to "The God-given building blocks of our peoples." (This act was effected by the "Law of the Reconstruction of the Nation.").
