Gegen Hunger Tinnie

I found this tinnie in a bag of tinnies my dad bought in Germany. I googled it without much success. Can anyone tell me what this was for? Thanks.

Hi Pablo, nice tinnie!

And it looks like a keeper: WHW-tinnie, Sammlung der SS in Darmstadt im Gau Hessen-Nassau, 1st and 2nd Nov. 1934

WHW-Abzeichen, Für Adolf Hitler... / Datenblatt © Deutsches Historisches Museum, Berlin (03020304-0)

If you were a citizen of Darmstadt you would probably have met some SS guys in the streets of the city on 1st and 2nd Nov. 1934 collecting money from people passing by. And if you felt like supporting the work of the WHW you might have donated some money for their cause and in return you would have received such tinnie as the one posted by you. I think that's the significance.

Cheers, MB.

Thanks. How ironic....the same group known for their brutality also doing charity work.
