The Winterhilfswerk was an annual months-long compulsory charity drive. It was established as early as 1931 by the Heinrich Bruning government, and was adopted and championed by the National Socialist German Workers' Party or Nazi Party as early as 1933. The drive took place through the months of October to May to raise funds for basic needs for the poorest during winter. Food, clothing, coal and other items were handed out by the Nationalsozialistischm Volkswohlfahrt (National Socialist People’s Welfare Organization), whose slogan was 'none shall starve nor freeze'. Various groups including the Hitler Youth went door to door soliciting donations from the public, and in return gift the latest lapel design or booklet. At times the designs would change as often as weekly so that the public were pressured into contributing money frequently by wearing the latest badge. By 1945 over 8000 different badges had been produced, in a variety of material and techniques including wood, glass, paper, metal, plastic, leather and amber. People who were not wearing the latest lapel were publicly shamed and their names printed in the newspaper. Community pressure ensured constant giving from the German people.
The box is of the Dreiturm (Three Towers) Olive had been a German company owned by Max Wolf, a Jewish businessman. In 1933 Dreiturm was confiscated by the Nazis. In July 1934 Dreiturm was officially Aryanized by the state and then purchased by the Aryan firm Sidol for a fraction of its worth. Max Wolf and his family ultimately emigrated to England
