Beau Newman Posted September 19, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
