Das Deutsche Lied - Lieder der Bewegung
Description
Nazi propaganda booklet - small size approx. 5x7cm.
Translates in English to The German Song - songs of movement. Title is Book 2 of the Das Deutche Lied series of publications.
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.
