Issued in September 1942 for the German Winterhilfswerk charity campaign, this trio of pressed glass donation badges stems from the "Deutsche Baudenkmäler" architectural series. The pieces measure 1 to 1.25 inches high and feature detailed intaglio-molded lines highlighted with colored pigments. The light blue glass badge depicts the Aachen Town Hall, inscribed with "Aachen - Rathaus." The green badge features the historic Tannenberg Memorial fortress, inscribed below with "Tannenbergdenkmal." The pink glass badge portrays the Battle of the Nations Monument in Leipzig, inscribed with "Völkerschlachtdenkmal." Each piece is designed with a curved top, a flat reverse, and a molded horizontal channel for a mounting pin. The pink badge has visible chipping along its upper edge, and all three pieces show light handling wear. PM
