1937 WHW Donation Sheet Joy through the WHW

Germany / Third Reich (1933-1945)

WHW Donation Sheet Freude durch das WHW (Joy through the WHW). § The sorting out (Selektion) of “asocial” and “racially and biologically inferior” people, as well as the campaign against the “nuisance of begging” (Bettelunwesen) turned the WHW into a means of political and ideological oppression. The continual badgering for donations, privately and on the job, and the financial burden involved, especially for people at lower income levels, led increasing to exasperation and to a decline in “voluntary” willingness to donate. Countless instances of quarrels between the NSV/WHW and government agencies over authority and jurisdiction, as well as over dual responsibility, point to a basic and ultimately unresolved structural defect of the Third Reich: the dualism between party and state.
