Hello Guys.

Does these have anything incommon for the 39-45 period?

Or are they just some postwar rememberance stuff?

Have you seen these before?

This is a WHW (Winter Hilfs Werke) item of the period (pre 39 I think)

The units also made these for unit day celebrations- Tag der Wehrmacht etc and gave them to families/kids visiting the kaserne or at parades. This is for Nachrichten-Abteilung 22 Bremen

Yep, the WinterHilfsWerke were all sort of items sold by the HJ and other nazi orgs to collect money for "charity". Some are very collectable from the militaria point of view, such as these unit shoulder straps.
