    West Wall

    Is there a 57 version of the West Wall medal? I've done a forum search but came up with a blank.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hey Mike,

    No, there is no West Wall Medal in 57er form.

    Have a look HERE for the items allowed and disallowed by German law.

    Nice to "see" you here!

      Not reading German, is it the medal in the second group, and therefore banned?

        Hi Mike,

        No, this medal was not "re-issued" in 1957.

        Kind regards

          However it does "unofficially" appear on 57er ribbon bars !

            I appreciate the comments guys.

            S.L., can you share an example of a WW medal on a mini bar?

            I've seen a few full size bars with denazified WW medals such as this NICE EXAMPLE owned by Nigel, but no mini bars.

              It is not allowed (forbidden) to wear the Schutzwall-Ehrenzeichen in any size in Germany.

                You're the man Matthias! Good info!

                What would happen if a vet wore Nigel's sanitized example in Germany?

                  It is defined in the 57er law. (version 1957)

                  Up to 3 month jail and a financial penalty.

                    Hi Pierce,

                    "No, this medal was not "re-issued" in 1957"

                    No medal was re-issued in 1957.

                      Thanks for the replies! And Mike thanks for the list, some of the forbidden ones on the list I can understand given the times, some I can't.

                      And Nigel, that is one interesting version of the Schutzwall Medal you have on that bar!

                        Correct as always Uwe!
                        The medals, Iron Crosses, badges, etc. were allowed by law, but not reissued by the German government.

                        Glad to help Mike.Laws, as in any country can be puzzling at best sometimes.
