Most Third Reich collectors are familiar with Der Deutsche Automobil Club (DDAC or The German Automobile Club) of Nazi Germany, their badges, illustrated automotive magazine and road maps, but very few have ever seen this rare 1939 membership recruiting brochure.

For recruiting a single new member, one would receive a DDAC Fahrzeugwimpel or car pennant, DDAC Yearbook about cars of yesterday and today, DDAC motorcycle badge or DDAC car badge. For recruiting two new members, one could chose from a years subscription to the DDAC club magazine, Deutsche Kraftfahrt - DDAC Motorwelt, or a DDAC Baedeker travel guide for Nazi Germany. Three new members would win the recruiter a DDAC lapel pin in silver, and the gold version of the DDAC-Werbenadel would be given for recruiting ten new members. A 15 cm tall silver goblet would be given to any person who recruited 25 new DDAC Mitglieder.

DDAC-Werbewettbewerb für Einzelmitglieder is a brochure that advertises prizes that DDAC members could win for recruiting new members for the Nazi German Automobile Club. It was printed for a special prize competition that started on 1 March 1939 and ended on 1 May 1940 in hopes of increasing the number of DDAC "automotive friends" which would result in increased membership dues, and a more productive club with more impact.

These prizes are all shown on the inside two-page spread of this rare original 7-¾ x 8-¼ inch 4-page DDAC brochure with the DDAC logo eagle and swastika on the brown cover. There is damage to the top edge of this rare 84 year old Nazi automobile club recruiting brochure, but as any potential buyer can see, this does not impact the text or pictures.   No odor.

Most collectors today (even museums!) haven't the slightest idea how a proud DDAC member would come to possess any of these items. We have saved this rare DDAC promotional brochure for decades and in steady hunting we have never found a better example! it is that hard to find.
