Soest - July 23-25, 1937
RAD Soest 1937: Bronze plated steel (magnetic), 45 x 40 mm, soldered steel pin, mint condition. Dated RAD tinnies are scarce. The 1937 RAD Soest tinnie is very hard to find because of the many air raids and house to house fighting the city experienced in the last ten months of the war.

Soest 1933-45: The British disarm the soldiers of the German 6th Parachute Division in the city of Soest. During World War II, Soest was the target of several allied bomber raids targeted at the marshalling yard, which was one of the biggest in the Reich, and the important battery factory Akku Hagen. Later, Soest suffered major fighting in early April 1945, starting when Allied forces captured the town at the beginning of the month. They were soon evicted by a German counterattack. Destructive front-line combat raged in Soest and its environs through the first week of April until the Allies gained a permanent upper hand at the end of April.
