Urkunde - Wintersammlung 1941

Hitler's refusal to provide the Eastern front troops with special winter uniforms (assuming victory by then), forced many of them to face the winter of 1941/42 without adapted clothing. 
As this certificate shows, they often relied on civilian pieces that were collected by Winterhilfwerke and similar organisations to be send from Germany to the front.
According to an order signed by Hitler on 21.12.1943 also equipment such as ski's and shoes were to be collected in vast numbers and reissued to front troops.
