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 landmarks highlighted with dark pigments. The clear glass piece portrays the Prinz Eugen Monument in Vienna, inscribed with "Prinz Eugen Denkmal." The amber-colored glass badge displays the Mahnmal München memorial featuring an eagle and swastika motif above a multi-tiered platform. The light green glass badge depicts the Völkerschlachtdenkmal monument in Leipzig, bearing the inscription "Völkerschlachtdenkmal" along the base. Each piece has a curved top, a flat reverse, and a molded horizontal channel for a mounting pin. The green badge has a small chip on its upper right edge, and all three display light surface wear. PM
