WIKIPEDIA: The Winterhilfswerk des Deutschen Volkes (English: Winter Relief of the German People), commonly known by its abbreviated form Winterhilfswerk (WHW), was an annual drive by the National Socialist People 's Welfare (German: Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt) to help finance charitable work. Its slogan was 'None shall starve or freeze'. The drive was originally set up under the government of Heinrich Bruning in 1931, though Adolf Hitler would later claim sole credit. It ran from 1933-1945 during the months of October through March and was designed to provide food, clothing, coal and other items to less fortunate Germans during the inclement months. Certain weekends were assigned to all of the different Nazi associations, each with their own special Abzeichen, or badges, to pass out in exchange for a pfennig or two. These highly collectible items were made of many different materials, such as wood, glass, paper, terra cotta, metal and plastic. Over 8,000 different pieces were produced by war's end and some of the rarer ones sell for quite a lot of money today. The Can Rattlers, as they became known, were relentless in their pursuit of making sure every good German citizen gave their share to the WHW. In fact, those who forgot to give had their names put in the paper to remind them of their neglect. Neighbors and even family members were encouraged to whisper the names of shirkers to their block leaders so that they could persuade them to do their duty. one occasion, a civil servant was prosecuted for failure to donate and his argument that it was voluntary was dismissed on the grounds it was an extreme view of liberty to neglect all duties not actually prescribed by law and therefore an abuse of liberty. It was not unheard of for workers to lose their jobs for not donating to Winterhilfe or not giving enough. For instance, when a worker was fired for not donating to Winterhilfe, the firing was upheld by a labor court on the grounds that it was 'conduct hostile to the community of the people to be most strongly condemned'.
