August Militaria Auction
Lot 293:
Original German NSDAP Adolf Hitler Photo Books From Winter Relief. These miniature books were premiums given to those who donated annually to the Winter Relief Fund for the German People conducted by the National Socialist People’s Welfare Organization. Every year, October through March, different groups, like the Hitler Youth and the German Girl’s Association, collected money for this charity. Each group had its own type of premium, which was available for only two or three days during the campaign. The idea was to donate often in order to collect all the premiums. Of course, the more you gave the better the gift. Donors received a placard to place in their windows to keep additional “can rattlers” away. Failure to donate could lead to harassment, job loss, or even physical attack. These miniature books not only could be read but also could be used as Christmas tree ornaments.
