Description

This is an authentic WHW (Winterhilfswerk) badge from the Second World War, featuring a red and white flag design with a prominent Iron Cross on the front. On the reverse, it is inscribed with “Flakartillerie” and “SU 12”, identifying it as part of the series dedicated to German anti-aircraft artillery units. The WHW badges were issued as part of charitable fundraising campaigns organized by the National Socialist People’s Welfare (NSV), where civilians donated money to support soldiers and their families in exchange for small commemorative pins like this one.

Made from lightweight metal with enamel paint, this badge retains strong color and detail. The inclusion of the Iron Cross symbol and Flakartillerie inscription makes this a particularly interesting and collectible example from the WHW series, reflecting both the military pride and propaganda of wartime Germany.
