A side title translation: Confirm, O God, that which you have accomplished (part of the Pentecost offertory)
B side title translation: O all of you who pass by (text from Lamentations 1:12, exists in a shorter form, as an antiphon, and a longer form, as a responsory, the fifth of the nine responsories for Matins of Holy Saturday).
Likewise, and I had never heard of them either. Thanks for finding some more info for me as well. Just fwiw, this was part of a collection I bought from a German doctor of history, containing a lot of rare/unique labels.
All this is fascinating. I'm interested in modern German history, and yet I had never heard about these records. Thanks for digging up all this information.
I just found a pile of these for sale on eBay... at eBay prices... but anyway, one can see some of the several series issued by the label. T 5889 from this series contains a speech by former Papal legate to Germany and then-Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pacelli (future Pope Pius XII).
Here is another video of T 5886, a 1936-1937 release, according to the uploader. Wilhelm Schepping, in another article (2010, page 276), explains that this label issued 35 ten-inch (25 cm) records between 1934 and 1938. In 1937 alone, the label sold 46,000 records.
The Katholischer Jungmännerverband Deutschlands (KJMVD) was the only non-Nazi youth organization tolerated by the Nazis for a while because it claimed to be religious and apolitical. As a Catholic organization, it was also protected under the terms of the Reichskonkordat, a treaty between the Catholic Church and Nazi Germany from July 1933.
Nevertheless, KJMVD called for votes against the Nazis as early as February 1933, and in response the Nazis oppressed the KJMVD increasingly, shut down its two newsletters in 1937, dissolved the Bavarian branch in January 1938 and banned the organization completely in February 1939.
The article mentions that this label started in December 1934 and that it was part of the Catholic opposition to the Nazi regime. It doesn't actually mention this particular record, though.
I know convention is to put the lower matrix no. as the A-side, but here it seems to be indicated that the lower matrix number is the reverse. Also, I found a mention of these records in this scholarly article, beginning on pg. 129 (German).
