German POW medal/award/badge/patch/etc?
Greetings all. I was asked earlier today if there was any type of award given to German soldiers who were held prisoner by the allies during the war. American soldiers were awarded a POW medal, was there something similar given to German soldiers? I've tried to research this but havent been able to find much. Any help is appreciated

I think the Americans were the only ones to 'award' medals for being POWs

Nothing of that nature was awarded by the German Govt. (East or West)

I dont normaly collect KZ related, but my grandfather was a Polish soldier and spent seven years in a German POW camp, so when I found this I felt a connection. I also had reliatives in the German army and the British Army at the same time so I get to see the war from all sides!!!!!
