    Tapper og Tro medaljen 1944

    Bravery and Loyality Cross (Quisling Cross)

    Bronze Latin cross with out-turned ends to the arms, crossed swords between the arms, with loop for ribbon suspension; the face with ‘Sun Eagle’ symbol of the Nasjonal Samling, being a circular gilt-edged red enamel disc bearing a gold cross, a gilt eagle with wings outstretched above; the reverse inscribed ‘TAPPER OG TRO’ in ‘Nordic’ script; on original ribbon with top bar mounted for wear. The Cross began life as the ‘Order for Bravery and Loyalty’, instituted by the collaborationist Nasjonal Samling government under Vidkun Quisling to be awarded to Norwegian combat forces on the same basis as the German Iron Cross. Shortly afterwards, however, Josef Terboven, German Reichskommissar of Norway, dictated that only German awards were to be worn by Norwegian collaborationist forces. (Terboven and Quisling has a long history of rivalry and disagreement with Terboven doing his utmost to minimise the influence of Quisling, despite the orders of Adolf Hitler to help build the Nasjonal Samling). The Order was thus awarded for only a very brief period. In 1944, a very few examples had the ‘Sun Eagle’ symbol affixed to the face, covering the date ‘1941’ in ‘Nordic’ script and were awarded to members of the Nasjonal Samling, such awards being referred to as ‘politisk utgave’ (political awards). After Allied victory in May 1945, recipients of the award naturally did everything possible to conceal the fact. As a consequence, it is extremely rare.

    and

    Unlike the German Medals and Orders of 1933/45, this does not have a swastika. I've never seen anything like it, very interesting.

    Thank you again Lambert for helping, regarding correct names on the medals :beer:

    The norwegian "Quisling Cross" is not of the most common award to find. It is also released one 1st class, Breastmedal with pin on the back.

    Here is a small challenge ................

    Exists this award?

    Faithful Service Cross 40 years with Oakleaves

    Treudienst Ehrenzeichen 40 Jahre mit Eichen

    and

    Posted

    ...........or is it just a fantasy objekt ?

    The medal is original and the oakleaves also, but do they belong together ? (the left medal)

    Here you see it together with the oakleves on the Heer 40 years Service Medal (that one for sure is original and correct)

    Regards
