Matty85

Hi Matty85,

the second medal is for some elected members of sports events everywhere in Germany, only for the winners of larger competitions.

Such medals had been awarded from 1923 up to 1932. The day of the sports competitions was in every year the "11. August", the constitution day.

In the first years only 200 - 350 medals per year had been awarded, in the last years 2300 or some more.

See for example a document, here for Silber; your version is in Bronze:

The first piece is a French commemorative medallion. As it stated it commemorates 40th anniversary of the Battle at Dunkirk ( British and commonwealth forces evacuation) and the 35th anniversary of the Liberation of Dunkirk.
