Questions regarding police long service medal

[lewjian]

Hello, I have couple of questions regarding the regulation of wearing police long service medals during 3rd reich.
Was it allowed to wear both 18 and 25 years service medal on the same medal bar or ribbon bar?
I tried to search for photos in the forum, seeing most of bars with combo service medals have only one ww2 service medal plus a ww1 service award. Is that the only possible combination for ww2 police medal bars with two service awards?

Hello,

As far as the wearing of Police Long Service Decorations is concerned:

"When awarded a higher level of Police Long Service Decoration, the lower level may not be worn but remains with the recipient. The Police Long Service Decoration may be worn adjacent to the Long Service Decoration of the Armed Forces."

This is per wartime regulations and according to Dr. Heinrich Doehle, the Under State Secretary in the Chancellery of the Head of State and State Chancellor.

Best regards,
Tom

Hello Tom, thanks for the information.
Does the Armed Force service decoration include pre-ww2 service awards?
And what do you think is the reasonable class of service award (police or armed forces) a senior combact police officer chould be wearing in adjacent to his 25 years service cross?
