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. The blue glass badge and the pink glass badge both depict the Battle of the Nations Monument in Leipzig, each bearing the inscription "Völkerschlachtdenkmal" along the base. The green glass badge features the historic Tannenberg Memorial fortress, inscribed below with "Tannenbergdenkmal." Each piece is designed with a curved top, a flat reverse, and a molded horizontal channel for a mounting pin. The blue badge has a distinct chip on its upper right corner, and all three pieces exhibit light surface wear from handling. PM
