German Awards - Front Suspension Brackets for Transport and Landing Aircraft in Gold with Star Suspension
The frontlines were established by Luftwaffe Commander-in-Chief Hermann Göring on January 30, 1941 as a visible sign and recognition of the use of the front in the air. All Air Force personnel who took part in front-line operations and fulfilled the provisions of the award were awarded. Front flight brackets were expanded to 8 versions by 1944. These were: fighters, short-range night fighters, long-range night fighters, scouts, combat and dive fighters, transport and landing aircraft, combat aircraft and destroyers. Enemy flights included flights at a distance of at least 30 km beyond the front line or associated with contact with the enemy. Later long flights, over 12 hours were counted 4 times, and over 16 hours - 5 times. The bronze front bar was awarded after 20 enemy flights, the silver after 60 flights and the gold front bar was awarded after 110 enemy flights.
Due to frequent overfulfillment of tasks on June 26, 1942, the star (suspension) was presented to the golden front span. Since April 29, 1944, these trailers have been awarded hundreds of steps. Prices depend on the number of bets. Braces were made of tombac or fine zinc. Braces are valued higher at Tombak.
