Türplaketten (door plaques) were paper or cardboard WHW donation badges, but much larger and used in a different fashion than regular donation badges. When one had bought the latest Türplakette, it was tacked onto your door, so as to show that you had indeed been a loyal member of the Fatherland and donated in the latest WHW charity drive. They came in a wide variety of sizes, styles, colours and motifs, often showing a styalised picture of German history or culture. Some had a stamping on the rear, some did not. I am uncertain of why this was so. First up is my 1WHW 1933-34 November 1933 Tieste number T602.04, 80mm and made of paper. This has a stamping on the lower front, instead of the usual (when applied) on the rear. Text means Against Hunger and Cold, We Help

Re: My Türplaketten collection
This is the Tieste reference book about Türplaketten from which the refence numbers are sourced.
