Odulf Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Recently I found this portrait of a Heeres Beamter (Army Official). On the pleat of the left breast pocket, a square (unidentified) tinnie with the silhouettes of 3 fighter planes. Can any one identify this tinnie, please?

padro Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hi Odulf this tinnie would appear to be a Luftsport tinnie and the planes are actually gliders. They are mounted on a piece of real amber, so the background is a nice orange colour. Though why this guy would be wearing one is another matter!

Odulf Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 I have found it It is a Winterhilfswerk broach of the Reichsluftschutzbund. There is a magnificent complete collection of all the WHW Spendeabzeichen (donation badges) at the website of Hermann Historica (Lot Nr. 8362) http://www.hermann-historica.de/auktion/hhm64.pl?db=kat64_WHW.txt&f=ZAEHLER&c=0&t=temartic_W_GB&co=6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
