Hi everybody, I`m new to the forum, this is my first post.
Does every ostfront medal have a maker number on the ring?
Thanks, Filip

Hello Filip, and welcome to the forums!
The answer to your question is no. Some Ostmedailles were unmarked by their maker.

Reason being is as the war went on the Germans got scared that the naming and numbering on badges would attract attention to the factories where these things were being produced from Allied bombers.

But I don't think that is correct...I'm comfortably certain the allies didn't pick up medals, look at the MM, and target a medal factory. I think they concentrated on things like oil, rubber, and aircraft production. Time permitting, flak towers and troop positions. If it was real boring that day, trains.

You're definitely right, however you missed the word "scared" that that might happen. I read it somewhere, and I'll try to find the reference when I get more time.Comment
