The German headline urges everyone to wear the Ludendorff pin, a small badge sold to raise money for men wounded or disabled in the First World War. The fundraising drive took its name from General Erich Ludendorff, the senior German army commander whose name lent authority to the campaign. Wartime appeals like this one asked civilians to show support for veterans by buying and wearing a pin in public, turning charity into a visible sign of patriotism. The pin and its slogan show how the home front was mobilized as well as the front lines.
