Summary[edit]

Description
English: Volksbund für das Deutschtum im Ausland (VDA) Anhänger; VDA Kornblume Abzeichen; Nazi Germany/Third Reich pendant decorated with the VDA emblem with swastika and cornflowers.

Verein für das Deutschtum im Ausland (Association for Germanness Abroad) was renamed Volksbund für das Deutschtum im Ausland in 1933. VDA welcomed the coming of the Nazi regime and was used to promote Nazi political and racist ideas. During the pre-war years and through World War II, the VDA distributed over 1,200 different donation badges, postcards and other items to raise funds for its charity work. This was done alongside other similar charity drives by organisations such as the Winterhilfswerk (WHW), the Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (DRK/German Red Cross) and others.

Item in the collections of the Technoseum (Landesmuseum für Technik und Arbeit), a technology museum in Mannheim, Germany. Image found at Europeana.eu, a European Union web portal containing cultural heritage collections of more than 3,000 institutions across Europe.
