    From Wikipedia:
    The
    Winterhilfswerk des Deutschen Volkes
    (
    English
    :
    Winter Relief of the German People
    ), commonly known by its abbreviated form
    Winterhilfswerk
    (
    WHW
    ), was an annual donation drive by the
    National Socialist People's Welfare
    (
    German
    :
    Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt
    ) to help finance charitable work. Initially an emergency measure to support people during the great depression, it went on to become a major source of funding for the activities of the NSV and a major component of Germany's welfare state. Donations to the WHW, which were voluntary in name but
    de facto
    required of German citizens, supplanted tax-funded welfare institutions and freed up money for rearmament.

    Furthermore, it had the propagandistic role of publicly staging the solidarity of the "
    Volksgemeinschaft
    ".
