Benignus von Sprottzliessl, in his pioneering "Wonder Awards Of Our Grampas," Schwäbisch-Gmünd, 1961, infers that these were either
a) for military nurses, whose "pocket" watches were also wrong-way up when attached to their ample Teutonic bosoms, OR
b) these are in fact very excruciatingly rare U-BOAT crew awards, because proper heraldic practice ALWAYS requires that a badge be pointing at the ground.
I can now die happy, having held this in my hands this afternoon.

c) These versions were also awarded to those intrepid pilots who were able to successfully complete a loop-de-loop. Mandates dictated the "ze metals moost alvays be rghhiiiiggt side op"!
