Gordon Williamson Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Most often its the Military awards which turn up in 1957 de-nazified form, but many civil awards were made in 57 versions too.The RAD Long Service Medal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanCz Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Thank you for sharing with us all - - I too thought that it was only the military awards that were reissued in 1957. I will look out for the Olympic awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 Hi Dan,Yes I think a lot of folk are unaware of the civil 57 awards.Simplistically put, these were considered legitimate awards, i.e. perfectly normal innocent "non-politically motivated" people served as policemen, firemen, customs officers, the Labour Corps was a pre-Nazi concept, so in itself was "legit".These are all "civil" awards. The ones which were not re-introduced in 1957 "neue Form" style were the "Political" awards, so while you have a 57 RAD award, you won't find a 57 NSDAP Long Service or a 57 SS Long Service.Military Awards not reintroduced are few. Even the Anti-Partisan was allowed in 57 form but not the Spanish Cross ( seen as political) and the so called "Flowers Wars" medals, seen as foir Nazi agression and expansionism.
