"Flower Wars"/Commemorative Medal.

[ChrisKelly]

Just got this one.  Since only about 318,689 were awarded (until awards ceased on 31 December 1940), I chose this one over some much better looking, more complete Erinnerungsmedaillen 1. Oktober 1938 ("Sudetenland"), which were more widely awarded, and subsequently are much less expensive!

 

Comments and opinions encouraged and welcome.

 

(By the way...  I'm in the market for a suspension ring for this medal, if anyone has one to spare!)

Interesting addendum...  I found this online...

 

The 10th Nazi Party Congress, also known as the Reichsparteitag Großdeutschland, took place in Nuremberg, Germany from September 5–12, 1938. The name translates to "Reich Party Congress of Greater Germany". 

 

The Reichsparteitag was the official name of the Nazi Party rallies. The 1938 rally was named the "Rally of Greater Germany" because of Germany's annexation of Austria earlier that year. The Anschluss, as it was known, took place from March 11–13, 1938.
