The Medal of Remembrance could be awarded to all former Freikorps members who took part in the battles of 1921 or earned from supplying or propaganda in favor of Freikorps.
At the request and after consideration, the medal was awarded a diploma. Retired captain's signature. Austrian and service seal of the 1st battalion of the Freikorps "Oberland."
Freikorps Oberland was founded in 1919 by Rudolf von Sobottendorf, who was chairman of the extreme right-wing Thule Society. The volunteer corps was supposed to defeat the Munich Soviet Republic. In 1920, the Volunteer Corps was deployed during the Uprising at rest. After that, sorties to Upper Silesia followed, as during the capture of St. Annaberg. The Volunteer Corps became known for its brutality as well as other non-combat related killings. Freikorps was part of the black Reichswehr and later became the Oberland Union, which formed the core of the SA in Bavaria in 1921. Former Freikor chief of staff Josef Römer, on the contrary, joined the communist Scheringer circle and actively worked against Hitler until his execution in 1944.
There are 2 different variants of the medal, slightly different in size and stigma. The submitted part is probably a later production.
