1940 German Third Reich Steel Helmet Soldier Notgeld Currency Note

Matching  pair of 1937 German “Wohlfahrts-Lotterie” (Welfare Lottery) tickets  issued for cultural and social aid programs during the prewar period.  These attractive blue-and-red tickets feature elaborate Gothic  lettering, serial numbers, and detailed printing typical of 1930s German  lottery and fundraising ephemera.
Both matching tickets are:

Dated for drawing: 29 May 1937 
Ticket type: “Originallos Abr. B” 
Price: 50 Pfennig 
Top prize listed: RM 125,000 
Advertised with “5500 Gewinne” (5,500 prizes) 

The reverse side includes full  printed lottery rules and payout tables in German. The tickets were  organized by the “Volksbund für das Deutschtum im Ausland” through the  Landesverband Thüringen, making them an interesting example of period  fundraising and propaganda-related social organizations of 1930s  Germany.
Excellent display pieces with ornate  typography and strong historical appearance. Ideal for collectors of  German paper ephemera, lottery tickets, social welfare memorabilia,  prewar German history, and vintage financial documents.
Condition is very good overall with  light handling wear, folds from storage, and minor age toning. Both  tickets remain attached together as issued. See photos for condition and  details.
