christerd Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Does anyone know how many of these that was awarded ? Bronze and silver ones ?? The German force was quite small but maybe these where awrded in greater numbers anyway Christer
Beau Newman Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Nimmergut gives a number of over 40,000 for the combatant medal and over 5,000 for the non-combatant. As I understand it, one did not actually have to serve in China to receive the non-combatant award. Those that were involved in planning, equipping and other support activities were eligible, even if they never left Germany.
