I know my English is bad, but that's why it's simple and I don't understand how my question can't be misunderstood. So I'll try to explain. In most countries of the world, there are Orders, Decorations and Medals (ODM) that honor individuals. In many countries, military units are also honored with these awards. Both platoons, companies, regiments, divisions, army groups, artillery batteries, warships, military schools, military factories, tombs of unknown soldiers, etc., etc. These decorations are usually attached to the flag of the decorated unit and often with a large, so-called flag ribbon in the colors of the award ribbon.
quote Such as U.S. unit citations, French fourragères, or Russian/Soviet naming units as "Guards" units? unquote is something else.
Well, my question is whether it happened also in the case of German units. That, for example, an artillery battery could be awarded the Iron Cross 1st class or some regiment the Order of Red Eagle, etc.
Thanks
