Der Fuhrer macht Geschichte 1938
Description
Nazi propaganda booklet - small size approx. 4x5cm.
Title translates to 'The Fuhrer makes History' 1938.
This title is one example of a number of small gifts distributed to donors contributing to the Winterhilfswerk des Deutschen Volkes (Winter Relief of the German People), or Winterhilfswerk (WHW). An annual donation drive sponsored by the National Socialist People's Welfare (Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt), it was established during the Great Depression to help finance charitable work, later becoming a major source of funding for the activities of the NSV and support to national welfare activities, freeing up resources for Germany's rearmament.
