A pencil drawing of Arno Breker’s statue “Der Fackelträger” / “Die Partei” - The Torchbearer / The Party.
Along with “Der Schwertträger” / “Die Wehrmacht” - The Sword Bearer / The Army, these stood outside and flanked the grand entrance in the Court of Honour of The New Reich Chancellery.
These were the most famous bronze monumental statues (with a height of 3,2m) created by Breker, commissioned by Albert Speer in 1938.
Jennifer Mundy of the Tate in London said “these two were the cornerstones of the Reich’s spirit and power.”
