    1. With regards the Norweigen Awards there is also this badge,

      known as the Front Line Sisters Badge it is classed as "Extremely Rare" and the picture is taken from:

      GERMAN WORLD WAR 2 MEDALS & POLITICAL AWARDS, THE SATELLITE STATES.

      by Mr. CHRIS AILSBY (ISBN 0 711028524).

      Page 124. " This too was designed like the Front Line Soldier's Badge by Harald Damsleth in 1944 and was only awarded nine times.

      It is still virtully unknown, even to the surviving front sisters. No award criteria are known, so it was probably meant to be the standard award for all nurses serving in front-line duties.It is similar to the Front Line Soldier's Badge but slightly more oval. . . .

      What relationship this badge had to a Front Line Soldier's Badge is not clear.

      Photographic evidence clearly shows Anne Gunhild Moxanes, who served with the "Wiking" Division wearing the Front Line Soldiers Badge. She was also awarded the Iron Cross II Class."

      Now I wonder if that could be the lady in post 12 previous??

    2. Hallo Gents,

      thanks for the extra pictures nesredep :jumping:

      With regards EK II awards, seeing as a lot of the ladys pictured have the EK II.

      I think its for carrying out their Nursing duties under enemy fire or danger from enemy attack.

      I very much doubt that D. Red Cross members would be actively engaged in combat or carry weapons.

      as this would contravine the Geneva Convention??
