    RHEINLAND RAVMVNG table medal

    Hello folks
    I have a table medal I got a while ago really just because I liked the design and the case however I dont know very much about it.

    On the outer edge of the medal written in germen DIE KNECHTSCHAFT HAT FIN ENDF. (some is hidden by the spear and horn. (Translates to The farmland ....something)

    The case fits the medal perfectly and is well constructed, passes black light etc.
    On the backside of the medal it has written RHEINLAND RAVMVNG 1930. RHINE COUNTRY....anyone know what RAVMVNG means ?

    Im assuming this type of medal was issued to insite hatred of the french and foreign powers who took a large proportion of german farming land for their own uses after ww1. I guess this medal is enciting them to break their chains and revolt ? or am I away off on a rant any knowledge extremely welcome

    thanks
    Chris.

          Actually it says:

          "Rheinland-Räumung 1930
          Die Knechtschaft hat ein Ende"

          ...which roughly translates as:

          "Clearing of the Rhineland 1930
          Slavery has come to an end."

          It refers to the withdrawal of French military forces from the German Rhineland. (The last French occupation troops left on 30 June 1930.)
