Wild Card Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Very interesting. No doubt the inspiration for the Third Reich anti-partisan badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Maroli Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Is it impressed with numbers on the rim? ~Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian L Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 It does read "Aid for german war prisoners 1915" - but thats all i can tell you.Also its interesting as who was able to help german-war-prisoners in 1915 and how these people where able to get a medal from the "enemy". As if not direct help should be mentioned it could be given for donations which then might be sent via the red-cross to the prisoner camps.But thats only a thought of mine.Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike K Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) Ed, I don't know if there is anything on the rim. I'm trying to find out some info for a friend. I will ask him.Christian, thanks for your thoughts - they are appreciated and sensible. Something along the lines of the Gold-fur-Eiserne medals but for sending packages/clothes/food/etc to POWs. It's looking like this is an obscure unknown with no definitive info available.Thanks to all for your contributions!RegardsMike Edited February 13, 2008 by Mike K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Maroli Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I use to have one of these a few years ago. It was numbered on the rim in tiny, say 1/2 to 1/3 the size of british rim numberes. Very hard to see with out an eye loop.~ED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
