Very interesting thread! Normally not my area of interest, although what brought me here is the recent receipt of several of there below photographed examples. I did learn that I am one shy of a complete set a Ostpreussen is missing. Is there any desirability of near complete sets?

[Dave C.]

I also noticed these little but colorful tins in an earlier posting, are they also considered WHW?

[Dave C.]

Also noticed some of these earlier in this thread, are they also considered WHW related? Thanks!

The small VDA shield's tinnies you have are not WHW, they are an org. (Volksbund für das Deutschtum im Ausland).

[Dave C.]

No doubt this one is WHW and I don't remember if it has been previously posted...too many of these things! I am impressed by the size and detail of this example at just a hair over 4cm across.

Plain reverse

Dave, your WHW items of post #287 are really nice & in great condiiton, but they are NOT of cities/towns as has been mentioned previously; the badges of post #287 depict crests/flags of PROVINCES/districts.
The colorful VDA tin badges you posted in post #288 actually do depict coats-of-arms of cities & towns, & these cities/towns were outside Germany at the outset, & of course welcomed back into the Reich. Rudolf Hess created the Foreign Organization (AO= Auslands Organization) of the NSDAP on 3.Okt.1935, & associated with the AO, was the VDA with Hess also in control. Some background history on some of your VDA city/town shields: Kulm was in West Prussia; Oliva was in West Prussia near Danzig; Reichenberg was in the Sudentenland, now Libere in the Czech Republic; Aussig was in the Sudentenland, now Usti in the Czech Republic; Plesz was in Silesia, now in Poland; Sohrau was in Silesia, now Zory in Poland; Teschen's new name is Tesin; Sonderburg was in Denmark, now called Sonderborg; Pettau is now Ptuj in Slovenia; Gottschee is now called Kocevje in Slovenia , even has the same coat-of-arms; Stadt-Tarvis is now Tarvisio in Italy; Güns is now Köszeg in Hungary, a large Nazi Slave Labor Camp was there; Nösnergau was in northeast Transylvania (Romania); Bistritz is now Bistrita in Romania, was part of Hungary 1940-1944, & still has the same city coat-of-arms of the ostrich with a horseshoe in its beak.
