    I bought a box of misc. at an estate sale. In it I found a pin similar to the one in the link.
    Mine has had the bronze leaf ring removed with some damage to the enamel where it was pried off. Mine says "NSDAP Frauenschaft"

    All I can find is a small explanation on Wiki, that there was a women's German group. From what I gather their purpose was to ensure only German products were being used in the home.

    I don't know what the link says.
    Is there any value even with damage.
    Thank you for your help.

    In my opinion the damage has pretty well junked it. I'd put it in my $5 box for people to rummage through at fairs and fleamarkets.

    With the damage it is probably doesn't have much value

    NSDAP Frauenschaft-was the female wing of the Nazi party. They were women who believed in the Nazi party.

    They were women who believed in the Nazi party.

    Or, to be fair,did what their husbands told them, or were forced by peer pressure to appear to fit in.

    Probably true, but as the war wore on they also began to take on more and more military duties freeing men to fight. they worked directing traffic and in the bunkers tracking incoming Allied air raids and they became communications specialist to run the switchboards.
