Ehrenzeichen der Deutschen Volkspolizei Award

[Ralph P]

Hello Ralph!

Thanks for posting the documents. Very interesting!

Sorry for my english - is not so good!

Award documents (Urkunden) from the Year 1954 are "Very Hot"

All active Members of Volkspolizei, KVP, Grenzpolizei and Staatssicherheit get the "Ehrenzeichen DVP" in the years 1949-1953/54 received on 01. July 1954 NEW award documents with date from 01. July 1954. The old documents from 1949 until 1953/54 were returned.

The "Ehrenzeichen DVP" was a Decoration from the "Ministerium des Innern". Only 28. May 1954 it is a state Decoration from the DDR - and there were new award documents.

The first date in the document of 1954 is the right date - not the 01. July 1954!

Can you me say this Date - i can not reading. Also the date of the booklet.

Thanks!
Dirk

Hey Dirk - The date on the award document is 01jul54. The date on the booklet which was given to the same person is 22Feb1950. It is interesting that you said that the earlier awards were turned back in to the state. Did that also include documents?

Hey Ralph!

Thanks for answere. Not the award turned back - only the document (Urkunde). And then became a new document with Date 01. July 1954.

Thanks Dirk, as you can see that was not always the case...which I know this is a rare combo of the documents and award together from the same person...
