This peculiar little plastic... something that was a Nazi... something during the fascist era of the country.
The item. (Apologies for bad quality, it's the best camera I have)
It appears to be some kind of plastic object that you would press into a mold, which you would then use to make something else, possibly a metal item with the stuff on it. There's a hole on the stand in the back that appears to be something you would thread a wire or string through, maybe it's a piece of a machine that was used to make molds?
The moment pictured has a lot of small, faded letters that nobody would be able to make out even in person, let alone from a picture. However, the two words on the bottom could be made out (hopefully) by one of you, since we can't seem to.
The first letter of the first word is W and the first letter of the second is M. After some scrutinizing it, it seems that the first word is something like Wafumal, but that doesn't show anything in google translate. The second word is something like Mümfim
Could anybody here shed some more light on what this could be? The momument, I figured would be a giveaway to someone here with knowledge of Nazi structures/planned structures.
Resembles the Reichsparteitagsgelände[1]. If you want to know more, you will have to get better pictures, preferably in daylight. The letters look look like Sütterlin[2] which means that you have to get a really good picture because the last one who could read this abomination fluently died in the last millenium.
These are called "tinnies" to us collectors, as alot are made of a thin metal. They were given to people who donated to the WHW---WinterHilfsWerk.....a Nazi organization made to help the war effort. BDM (female Hitler Youth) would go around with little "cans" and take donations, and would pass these out to those who donated. A lot of kids collected them for fun! Some represented certain monuments, events, celebrations, important historical dates, Veteran Organizations, and other Nazi-related things (SA/etc). Sometimes they would have "sets" of them......in which kids would try to collect all the colors, shapes, etc. in the set. Some are very good looking, especially the metal ones.....but they were not allowed to be worn on any military uniforms.
Here's another link with a picture of the actual memorial: http://www.weltenbummlermag.de/muenchen-alte-fotos/ (3rd pic down)
