The WHW badge you called a „Wolf with a hat“ in the end of the video refers to the old German fairytale „Der gestiefelte Kater“ (The tomcat with boots on) by the Brothers Grimm.

@@harryraam9566 Bedankt. That‘s interesting. As far as I remember the Grimm Brothers didn‘t write the tales but collected them. Maybe Der gestiefelte Kater has its origin in the Netherlands. Greetings

The WHW badges are "WinterHilfsWerk" badges. It was a scheme organising clothing and food for troops and civilians during the war. The different metals were a way of knowing how much you had donated and how much more or less than your comrades or neighbours had given. Gold is more than silver while bronze is the lesser one. It could be seen as a matter of pride or bragging.

5:15 It says "Messertuch" which is a cleaning cloth for a knife. The letter "long S or ſ was a form of the lowercase letter "s" back in the day in germany.

And for all those who think "why does anyone need a towel for knives". In the past knives where mostly made out of normal steel, not stainless steel. So cleaning them could cause the towel to turn brown of the rust and you dont want to clean the rest of your dishes with this towel :)

Hi guys, pretty cool finds. The small soldiers and artillery guns made out of plastic are WHW items. The bigger metal soldier figures are home casted toy figures. The company Schneider from Dresden made the moulds they are casted with.

Anyone knows more than me?
