I mean I think the Germans use stamps as propaganda pictures that many people got to see.
The Winter Relief Fund [WHW] stamps was issued every year and also made into special booklets, some have pictures of the Ritterkreuz winners on the front, others are plain with Winterhilfeswerk on the front, a small amount of money was given to the WHW as a surcharge on the stamps.
I will look out a few pictures for you when I can scan them. No worries about understanding of english!

Dear Matt,
now i ve understend,great thank You!
I ve the suspect that we re sayng concern no the same subject.
I no pratic concern the stamps booklets (i ve only the first..Friedericus).
The WHW stamps booklets was issued ony in 1936/37/38/39/40 and in the cover they show only the same stilized eagle (the first is a bit different).
Probable Your booklets re under cinderella section,no stamps, and i don't know nothing concern this, so im very interested for look Your promise future pics.
With friendly
Luca

When I get home I will scan the cover and post it for you to see. It's not a major exciting one but I like to get ones where the cachet is really clear and the cover in good condition rather than buy something a little scruffy and then maybe have a hard time selling it later if I change my mind.

PS Walter Christ shop have been very good and helpful to me, a first class dealer!
