I have only ever seen a set like this 2 or 3 times before. something that was a faked item early on? or could possibly be real?

Are they made of glass? I'll move the thread to the Art and Exotica section where it is better placed.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Yes they are glass, and then painted it appears
That is strange. But yet very interesting
They are fairly even. comparing them to each other they look like they were glass blown into a mold
I have seen a lot of this third reich type of stuff, some may describe it as "kitsch"... I have seen similar ornaments in period photos and also party sets of paper cups, paper lanterns and plates all garishly decorated with the party flag...one particulars dealer site from Germany that I frequent from time to time gets this stuff in,and it is really quite fascinating to me?..most of it is quite authentic, though not something that is on every bodies radar to collect
would you consider this to be authentic? its not regularly duplicated that i know of. I also had trouble finding any sort of info on it as far as who it may have been given out to or where abouts they were regularly seen
I may be completely wrong but I actually like them. Call it gut instinct.

Thank you very much for the info
Like Adrian, I also believe this is a period set of tree ornaments. Not for everyone but quite interesting. I have seen period film of similar ornaments.
