Third Reich WHW Flag – “Kraftfahrkampftruppe”

Description

This is an original WWII-era German WHW (Winterhilfswerk) donation badge, featuring a flag-shaped design with a military motif. The reverse is marked “Kraftfahrkampftruppe”, referring to motorized combat units of the German armed forces.The badge is part of a military-themed WHW series highlighting various branches and unit types of the Wehrmacht. It retains its original pin-back fastening, consistent with period-issued WHW tinnies.

The Winterhilfswerk (WHW) was a nationwide charity organization in Nazi Germany, organized under the National Socialist People’s Welfare (NSV). During annual fundraising campaigns, donors received small commemorative items—commonly known as WHW tinnies—as tokens of appreciation. These items reflected cultural, occupational, and military themes and today serve as historical artifacts illustrating civilian life and propaganda during the Second World War.

This example is distinguished by its clear unit designation and well-preserved enameled flag design, making it a solid addition to a WHW or WWII-era collection.
