My dad brought me back some of these tinnies from Germany. It would be interesting to know what they represent. I posted the Hitler tinnie previously and received interesting comments. Just wonder what the others are. Thanks for your comments.

Hi Pablo.
These pins and badges were usually made to commemorate a rally or some other
special event within the Third Reich.
- '1/Mai 1936' tinnie, aluminum, this one is quite common. The 1st of May was
Labour day. Similar badges read: 'Tag Der Arbeit' or 'Day Of Work/Labour'.
- 1939 Kriestag or 'District Day' badge for Wiesbaden, plastic,
- ( Hitler/Koln tinnie )
- 1938 Hitler Youth pin - looks like it is also made of plastic.
Some collectors focus on these badges alone - there seem
to be hundreds of different ones.
Yours are all 'good'.........!

Hi Pablo
Some extra info on top of what Steve has already helped you with:
1 - Arbeit (T36-01). This was the first Arbeit tinnie that had the script Tag der Arbeit replaced with 1.Mai
2 - Wiesbaden (T39-02)
3 - Köln (T33-02)
4 - HJ (T38-03b). This tinnie came in three types, 38-03a is the metal one, 03b is pasteboard brown, and 03c is pasteboard red.
