Product Overview
Excellent condition NSV stickpin. Marked RZM, Ges Gesch and '16' on the reverse.
The NSV was the National Socialist People's Welfare organization.
The NSV began in 1932 as a local welfare organization and mainly provided money to poor, deserving families in Berlin. This was a forceful propaganda tool for the Nazi Party which soon centralized and administered the NSV. By 1938, it was one of the largest organizations in Germany. It offered child care, health, and medical services, and promoted Nazi family and population policies. The annual fundraising campaign was a major event throughout Germany.
