Chris Boonzaier Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Does anyone have a pic of the Spanish army wound badge and know if Germans were awarded this?A friend found one in a junk shop in the area here and wonders if it is a WW2 spanish one and if it possible it was worn by a LC vet?

Ed_Haynes Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 There was a Spanish wound MEDAL, awarded both by the Spanish government and by the fascist rebels. Is this what you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev in Deva Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) I seem to recall a medal with a red X on the ribbon, now hopefully to find a picture.One book I have refers to: the "Medal of Suffering for the Country" (wounded by enemy fire) as being worn by Spanish troops, I think this was from thr Spanish Civil War era and was probably issued to Spanish troops of the "Blue Division" in Russia.I have never heard of it being worn by Germans though!!Kevin in Deva Edited July 15, 2007 by Kev in Deva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev in Deva Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hi Chris, sorry but,dosent sound like any Spanish item I have ever read about, all I can suggest is your friend gets a picture of the item and you post it here.Nor have I ever seen such a badge pictured on any German uniform of Condor Legion members.Kevin in Deva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
