???????????

Question for everyone! This tinnie came with a number of the VDA crest tinnies. I have not seen this one before and don't remember seeing it in any of my reference books. Is this a VDA tinnie? And is it part of a series of tinnies? Is is Pre May 1945? It is the same size as the VDA tinnies. Thanks, Mike

This is another of the Innere Mission badges (as indicated by the symbol in the top corner) date unknown.

Marc--please post the photo! Mike

[James Noble]

Marc, Please explain what is meant by Innere (inside) Mission? Is it a Evangelistic movement inside Germany.

Mike, I believe he is saying your pin is another example of this organization.

[James Noble]

Marc and Mike I finally found out what this organization is. It's the Nazi Social Welfare Org. and the pin is for the domestic drive to raise funds for charities. Which explains the wording Inneren.

Does this fall into the catagory of Innere:

[Mike Dunn]

I believe so Marvin. The Hamburg tinnie I posted is related, but I had not seen it before until it came to me with some VDA tinnies. Not as fancy as a IAB or PAB, but to me, still just as nice! Mike

[James Noble]

Marvin, I would say it is the first of these pins as it shows the symbol of the org. in the center of the Third Reich and proclaims April 14 u 15 Volkstag der Inneren Million. There's no telling just how many indivial city pins there areMikes Hamberg pin is the first one of those I have seen.

[Mike Dunn]

Interesting information! Wonder if anyone out there has any other city tinnies like the Hamburg one?? Thanks James, Mike

Here are a set that I obtained from Germany. The one with the cross atop Germany is marked "Metallw.-Fabr. Herm Aurich Dresden-A16".

Well, I was going to take my whw tinnies out of the riker display in which I have them so that I don't post many that have already appeared on this thread. However, It turned into a lot of work, so I just scanned them in the riker display. Here are my whw items.

Innere Mission.

Innere Mission. Founded by the Hamburg Protestant Theologian "Johann Hinrich Wichern" in September 1848. Its aim was to bring the Youth of Germany and the Church closer together. It also aimed to keep the German youth in the countryside leaning a trade and leaning how to become a responsible adult instead of migrating to the bigger cities. It later became a charity to help the needy, within other regions. The first school set up by Wichern was near Hamburg.

Hope this helps the whole organisation is rather complicated and evolves from similar ideas.
