some nice awards shown on this thread.
May I ask you Jonas is your 4year female RAD medal made of copper. the reason I ask is I have one made of copper and have always been on the look out for one the same just for comparison. but as yet never come across one.

Good thread. I have learned interesting facts with solid visual references and good photography.
Doesn't really get any better than that.
I have been on WRF for six years and learned a great deal and am continuing to do so with some really good people.

Ditto that brother Steve.........!

Interesting to note that i have never seen an authentic scroll of issue for more than 18 years.
It is whispered that General-Arbeitsführer would have received higher grades, but I do not see the evidence in their medal bars on photos...

Here is a borrowed pic of the award document.

Thanks Visor, I have the award documents for the 4th and 3rd class, what I'd like to see is the documents for 2nd and 1st class DA.
Obviously this is due to the fact that no one qualified for the required 18 years of service. From March 1943 no further applications for the DA were met.
