Hi guys,

I like it Kevin - these are underrated and with a name and packet it makes a nice complete unit!
Cheers, Dan

Thanks guys much appreciated.
Nice set !
one question what where these medals awarded for?
I've seen many in the antique stores but not with their packet
It is my understanding that the Kriegsverdienstmedaille was created as an alternative to the Kriegsverdienstkreuz, because the latter had lost some of its 'credibility' as a result of being over-awarded. The medal as opposed to the cross was awarded for any meritorious activity in contribution to the war effort, such as factory work. The others may correct me if I'm wrong about any of this, as I can't remember where I read it.
Strictly a civilian award Erno.........
Regards,
Steve.
