James Clark Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 (edited) The regulation is often quoted that members of the Wehrmacht were only supposed to wear two of the "Flower Campaign" medals (Austria, Sudetenland and Memel) together. Can anyone tell me what the source of this information is please?ThanksJames Edited February 26, 2006 by James Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 One of the Reichsgesetzbl?tter. The specific issue from pre-war 1939 is no longer contained in the biological memory units, alas. As dimly recalled when having seen the original, it may well have been IN the creation notice in the RGB for the Prague bar or for the Westwall Medal. That applied, BTW, only and specifically within the Wehrmacht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Clark Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thanks Rick,I have copies of the statutes instituting all the awards (Flower Campaign and Westwall) as well as regulations for wearing the awards and there is no mention of such a restriction in any of them. However, my sources don't go later than 1940 (apart from the 1945 Doehle, which doesn't mention it), so I suppose it must have been in a subsequent addendum to the statutes. Just one of those things - I couldn't remember where I heard about the "two Flower medals only" rule, so it seemed like a good idea to get a note of the contemporary source.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Krause Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I did not find any source mentioning that it is not possible to get all 3 flower war medals.But it is indeed in the Doehle, that holders of a flower war medal could not get a Schutzwallehrenzeichen.Anyway; I can imagine that just a small bunch of high ranking people could have "won" all 3 of them.Best regardsDaniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
