Deutsche Frauenwerk was founded in October 1933. The member badge shown here was worn by women from a registered association. The German Women's Union, along with Nazi womanhood, was the second women's union under National Socialism and was not formally subordinate to the NSDAP. Unification was a gathering pool for nationalist and conservative women's associations of the former Weimar Republic, such as the Queen Louise Union, the Evangelical Women's Union, the Imperial Union of German Housewives, or the German Red Cross sisterhood. The connection with the NSDAP was nevertheless very close, and the German Women's Union was run as a "trusteeship union." Close ties existed in terms of personnel. Thus, the Reichsführerführer of the Nazi sorority Gertrude Scholz-Klink also headed the German Women's Factory. The German Sorority was later transformed into the governing body of all women's organizations. About 1.7 million women were organized in the German Women's Union. There are about 2.3 million women in Nazi women's society. Accordingly, these badges are less common than in the Nazi female tribe. The association organized the Reich Mothers Service and provided training in over 200 schools for mothers. After the outbreak of war, women's aid service became increasingly important. Members were used as nurses, fixing soldiers' uniforms and underwear, assisting women working in the defence industry with housework, assisting with collection, accommodation of evacuees or air policing.
