German Awards - Forward slats for transport and landing aircraft in silver

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. The front flight bar was donated in 8 versions for the corresponding type of application in 3 stages. 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.
