Issued in September 1942 for the Winterhilfswerk campaign, this trio of pressed glass donation badges stems from the "Deutsche Baudenkmäler" series. The pieces measure 1 to 1.25 inches high and feature intaglio-molded landmarks highlighted with dark pigments. The left badge is molded in dark green glass and depicts the Völkerschlachtdenkmal monument in Leipzig. The middle badge is molded in a bright lime-green uranium glass variant that fluoresces brilliantly under ultraviolet light, featuring the historic Tannenberg Memorial fortress. The final badge on the right is molded in clear glass and also depicts the Leipzig monument. Each piece features a flat reverse and a molded horizontal channel for a mounting pin. The clear piece shows a chip on its lower right corner, and all units display light surface wear. p
