NAZI Zuckertute/Schultüten: Photographic Evidence


Figure 1.--These boys with their Hakenkreuzschultüten were photographed in 1934. We have found few such photigraphs, but am not sure how common they were. /i>

We rarely see photographs of the Hakenkreuzschultüten. The image here is from 1933. We note an image from 1934. We have seen much larger numbers of these phjotographs when non-political cones, omes that have designs more likely to appeal to younger children. This would thus suggest at first glance that these cones were not very popular. Some care, however, needs to be take in assesing popularity by the modern number of surviving images. We believe that following the German surrender in World War II (May 1945) that many German families destroyed photographs and artifacts that had the swasticas on them. These photographs in particular would suggest that the familiy were NAZI Party members or pro-NAZI. Thus the popularity of these Hakenkreuzschultüten may well have been greater than suggested by the small number of available photographs.
