Your gift box up top most likely contained cigarettes (from the imperial family) at one time. See this thread:

Thanks Rich!!!

By the way, the badge was awarded by the Ministry of Health & Welfare. You can see its name on the lower left side of the envelope:
厚生省
Kōseishō

And on yours, WehrmachtRSI, can be seen 初 before the torn section; it is for the basic level:
初級
Shokyū
First/Beginning level
