    Out of curiosity, does anyone know the specific regulation(s) that banned the wearing of most Freikorps and the other "vet awards" when the Hindenburg Cross came out?

    Thanks,

    It must be in the Reichsgesetzblatt promulgating the Hindenburg Cross. Been 30 years since I've seen the RGBs.

    Hi,

    Verordnung zur Ausf?hrung des Gesetzes ?ber Titel, Orden und Ehrenzeichen

    Vom 14. November 1935 (RGBl I S. 1341f.)

    ...

    ?4. Orden und Ehrenzeichen des Weltkrieges

    ...

    (3) Von der in der Nachkriegszeit f?r die Teilnahme am Weltkrieg oder an den Nachkriegsk?mpfen oder aus diesem Anla? geschaffenen Orden und Ehrenzeichen sind nur das Ehrenkreuz des Weltkrieges, das Schlesische Bew?hrungsabzeichen (Schlesischer Adler) und das Baltenkreuz zum Tragen gestattet. [the allowance only for "Hindenburgkreuz", Schlesicher Adler and Baltenkreuz] Alle ?brigen Abzeichen, z.B. das Flandernkreuz, das Langemarckkreuz, die Regimentserinnerungskreuze, Grenzschutz- und Freikorpsabzeichen, Feldehrenzeichen, der Schlageterschild usw. d?rfen nicht getragen werden.

    [the ban for all the other awards]

    ...

    Regards

    Uwe

    Thanks Uwe! :cheers: I hope you didn't have to read through 2 years of :sleep: regulations :speechless1: since EVERYTHING ended up in those, like our :sleep: Congressional record.
