NAZI WHW COLLECTION BAG

AN AUTHENTIC NAZI WHW
PFUNDSPENDE PAPER BAG
FROM GAU WIEN (VIENNA)

In Nazi Germany the Winterhilfswerk (Winter Charity Campaign or WHW) collection campaigns took place each winter and raised a great deal of money for charitable purposes. It was common practice for those who collected the contributions to give donors a small memento to show appreciation for their contribution.

There were many campaigns connected with the WHW each year at the national level and at the Gau or “state” level. They were conducted for only a couple of days each month from October through March and the money collected was set aside to help those who were hungry or cold.

The item we offer here is a 100% authentic -to-the-period paper sack, preprinted in dark blue ink with the logo of the WHW Pfundspende (a collection of clothing and food) in Gau Wien, the second largest metropolitan area in Grossdeutschland.

The bag is made of very heavy tan paper and measures about 8-3/8 inches wide by 21-1/2 inches tall. The opening measures about 6 x 8 inches. Unused condition.

Also for sale on the USM website, a genuine
WHW shooting target and WHW Abzeichen
(WHW contribution mementos).

This genuine Nazi WHW Pfundspende bag is **SOLD**.
We are happy to ship abroad at additional cost. Please inquire.
