NAZI Medal for 24 April 1932

The 10 year (bronze) 25 year (gold) and 15 year (silver) Long Service awards.

Spanish Volunteer Medal (German Government Issue)

After Germany attacked Russia Spain (supposedly neutral) offered a Division of troops to "help defeat bolshevism".

They were called the "Blue Division" or more formally the 250th Infantry Division.

Spanish Volunteer Medal (Spanish Government issue to Spanish citizens who fought for Germany against Russia)

The Spanish Government presented the Blue Division with a commemorative medal of its own. This award was surmounted by a Spanish Crown, with its main feature being a Spanish Eagle with an enamel Iron Cross in the center, representative of the collaboration between the nations. The reverse featured the Kremlin and the inscription “Rusia 1941”, denoting that the struggle was in the East. It was held by a white ribbon that had on either side with the national colors of Spain and the Third Reich.

The medal was presented to all Spanish Volunteers who fought against bolshevism in Russia. Because the swastika was not outlawed in Spain following the war, veterans continued to wear their awards as originally designed.

This one turned up in Brazil. The obverse side shows a nice HJ badge & National eagle with the words "Homes for Hitler Youth". The reverse of token basically translates to " For donation of housing for the Hitler Youth". I have my doubts due to the "new" appearance of this piece & I have never encountered this piece in any books. Kevin Punch
