    Imperial Russian awards worn in Germany - when?!


    Recommended Posts

    Recently there was a small discussion on a German forums regarding when Imperial Russian award were and when were not worn by German receipients. In World War 1 awards were usually not worn. After the peace of Brest-Litowsk things may have changed and the awards were worn again. However, in post WW1-Germany and the so-called "Third Reich" they w e r e worn. The actual question is: was there a change in 1941, in rules or in facts? Was it common still to wear Imperial(!) Russian awards while fighting the Russians?

    I am not sure and have nothing on those final four years of the great slaughter. At least I can well imagine they were worn - as they were never given by the Bolshevik (the actual enemy in WW2) but in good old imperial days - or even after WW1 by the "whites", then for fighting the Bolshevik, as they were now in 1941-45...

    Anyone knows, or has information on it?

    PS:

    I know I'm a bit off-topic here, but am to shy to go to the WW2 zinky guys or to the Russian section. Once imperial, ever imperial. ;)

    General practice anywhere is not to wear the awards of enemy powers while hostilities are occurring. Some wearers chose never to wear the awards of former enemy nations again. Others wore everything they had again once a war was over.

    I don't think there was any particular regulation for this-- anywhere-- so much as general custom in all countries.

    Hmm okay, thank you. But was "Russia" an enemy in 1914/17 and in 1941/45... ? Just the same? I assume this again a personal choice of the wearer - or non-wearer...

    I've seen Tsarist awards being worn by Germans during the Second War. Different regimes. But I don't have any ribbon bars or photos in my collection with any like that.

    Hmm okay, thank you. But was "Russia" an enemy in 1914/17 and in 1941/45... ? Just the same? I assume this again a personal choice of the wearer - or non-wearer...

    :speechless:

    I met a mention that it was not authorised to carry Russian awards received for war with Germany. But it concerned the former citizens of Russian empire and that who served in army of Russian empire. At the same time we know, that Cossacks in Wehrmacht continued to carry imperial awards for war with Germany.

    Proceeding from it it is possible to assume, that there were no interdictions for citizens of Germany received Russian awards to 1914 and after Brest-Litovska. And with Germany such citizens of Germany receive imperial awards for war could not.

    I do not know as it is all it has turned out at me in English... :banger:

    Exactly as it turned out for the people who wore the awards... or did not! :cheers:

    Feldwebel/Offizierstellvertreter Schneider is wearing a Medal for Zeal on the St. Stanislaus ribbon...

    with the profile of Nicholas II:

    :speechless1::rolleyes:

    There is no date on back :banger: but this convinces me it was taken DURING THE WAR also: he is wearing a XII Years Service Medal, not the XV or XXV Years Cross he would have earned once the war was over, at his rank.

    Medal for Zeal it has been received after 1904

    Actually,

    In WW2 it was forbidden to wear enemies awards. Everybody can read that in the "Doehle".

    In WW1 it was never forbidden. There was just an order of Willy the 2nd to remove enemies rulers monogramm cyphers from the shoulderboards of the regiments which they "owned" before WW1.

    Best regards

    Interresting points, Daniel. It was not banned in WW1, still very many did not wear their awards any more, we see this quite often. And I assume more often than still worn.

    I have no D?hle (yet), but there's still the point if Imperial Russia is just the same as post 1917 "Jewish-Bolshevik" Russia. I think it isn't, nazis definitelly thought the same, and in detail it might have been up to wearer's choice however.

    Thanks to all!

    Here is one small bar with the St.Anne ribbon in the end. Bar is from 30s. Looks like at least in this period some officers liked they old ex friends awards. :jumping:
