    What The Longest All-TR Era Medal Bar Possible?

    Hi All -

    I'd like to see scans of some of the longest (by number of awards) Third-Reich era only medal or ribbon bars that you have seen/have in your posession. I would assume some of the longer ones may be party hacks, but I was curious as to what was possible. I guess I would say foreign awards of the TR era would count...

    Foreign would have to count, or else by about seven, that would be squeaking the limits out of pure theoretical "German only."

    Here we have a Japanese Order of the Sacred Treasure, TWO from Rumania (one never quite knows with Rumanian awards, especially when they kept changing the ribbons but German dealers kept old stock unaware of changes--the silvery bit under the swords on the first one indicates a Commander grade being worn as "Kleindekoration" here on the ribbon bar) and THREE from Finland (Lion of Finland with Swords and a REPEAT second award of the Cross of Liberty 2nd Class-Military)= nine ribbons for ten awards, on Feldgrau.

      Bear with me if the precedence is off (I'm away from my materials at the moment), but maybe a just-too-young for WWI policeman that really got around...

        Were you allowed to wear 3 flower war medals toegther? I thought it was only two.

        What would the second blue long service award have been for? Only one police award on a ribbon bar.

        I think to rake up all these awards the guy would have had to have been a military police type and then he wouldn't have got the Luftschutz medal.

          I guess it depends on who you were Heydrich had all three on his ribbon bar.

            I thought it was three, but to be honest, I could very easily be wrong on that. I'm not much of a Flower War collector.

            I was thinking Police 4 year, with that one.

            There's this bar, the slightly younger cousing to one that I own:

              I would imagine if you had participated in all three "liberation actions", you would be entitled to wear them - let me do some digging. As an aside, I was stunned by the prices that Memellandes medals are bringing - I know they are considerably more rare than Austria and Czechoslovakia, but sheesh!

                Wehrmacht (Heer, Luftwaffe, KM) could only wear 2 flower war medals on the ribbon/medal bar at once.

                Everyone else (political, SS, SD, Police, etc) could wear all three.

                  So we were ALL right...

                    Hmmm... Would it be possible to throw a West Wall in there on that bar as well, or perhaps a Volkspflege?

                      Possible?


                      Theoretically.


                      In reality no Mere Mortal DID or COULD get "everything." (A civil defense medical policeman who roamed across the Reich unassigned for years?.... )

                      If any group in Nazi Germany was "always there" it was the bodtguards of the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler. Just take a look at the groups those guys had.

                        True... I had long since thrown reality out the window on this one.

                          I know I've seen Keitel with all three flower war medals. He was technically Army, but I guess his OKW position gave him the right.

                            ..and Sepp used Heer eagles as part of his uniform.

                            I tend to steer away from what commanding officers did.
                            They took liberties, but who would dare contest it?

                              I agree.
