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 green glass badge portrays the historic Marienburg castle fortress in West Prussia. The clear glass badge depicts the Prinz Eugen Monument in Vienna, inscribed below with "Prinz Eugen Denkmal." The light blue glass badge displays the Mahnmal München memorial featuring an eagle and swastika motif over a multi-tiered platform, with "Mahnmal München" inscribed along the base. Each badge has a flat reverse with a molded horizontal channel for a mounting pin. The pieces exhibit minor surface wear consistent with age. PM
