Awards of Germany - National Socialism "In general


This category deals with orders and badges of honor of that time that were not directly related to the 2nd World War. These include state awards, awards from various public bodies such as the police, Border Force, Customs or Public Life Awards, and clubs such as the Red Cross, Fire Service, Imperial Labour Service or sporting awards.
These awards were established or transformed after the National Socialists came to power and equipped with a swastika emblem.
Most of these awards continued to be awarded during the war.

Descriptions and images of orders serve only civic education and reflect anti-constitutional and anti-constitutional aspirations, scientific and art studies according to § 86 and 86a.
Illustrations do not contain unconstitutional symbols. They become covered and thus unrecognizable. Nazi content formulations are only used in the context of order descriptions if they are an integral part of the order or omission interferes with the description.
