About the Winterhilfswerk:
The Winterhilfswerk des Deutschen Volkes (translated as Winter Relief of the German People), often referred to by its abbreviation Winterhilfswerk (WHW), was an annual fundraising campaign conducted by the National Socialist People’s Welfare (Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt, or NSV). Founded in 1933, the WHW served as a significant funding source for NSV activities and was the second largest mass organisation in Nazi Germany. While donations were officially voluntary, in practice German citizens were expected to give, facing considerable social pressure to do so.
