Party Awards on Wehrmacht Uniforms?

[John F.]

I know the NSDAP party awards like the golden party badge, 10 and 15 year service awards were worn by members of the SS but were they worn by members of the Wehrmacht on Army, Navy, or Air Force uniforms, if so does anyone have a photo of this?

Hi john,

all that OFFICIAL decorations worn on Party uniforms could also be worn on Armed Forces uniforms.

Best regards

NSDAP Awards

Look for photos of Goering, Keitel, Jodl, and Fieldmarshall Erhard Milch. The Gold Party badge can be found.

WH Goldenes Parteiabz. Recipients

Here are some other examples of Wehrmacht Gold Party Badge recipients in the Wehrmacht (Note: These were not members of the NSDAP, at least prior to 20 July 1944 when it was finally permitted for members of the Wehrmacht to join the NSDAP; Before that date, serving members of the armed forces could not join the Party, though Party members could join the Heer, Luftwaffe, and Kriegsmarine and still retain their NSDAP membership). Those listed (as well as the already-mentioned Keitel, Jodl, and Milch) received the award as an honorarium for services to the Reich; that is, they did not receive it for holding an NSDAP-Nr. below 100,000 as was the original criteria for award).


Generalfeldmarschall Werner von Blomberg
Generalfeldmarschall Walther von Brauchitsch
Generalfeldmarschall Ferdinand Schörner
Generaloberst Eduard Dietl
Generaloberst Dr. Lothar Rendulic
General der Gebirgstruppe Julius Ringel

Grossadmiral Erich Raeder
Grossadmiral Karl Dönitz


Incidentally, Oberst (LW) Hans Ulrich Rudel was a recipient of the Goldenes Hitler-Jugend Ehrenzeichen

I have a photo of a receipient of the Blood Order and Gold party badge, taken on the Russian Front while he was serving in the Army as a war reporter for the Propaganda Ministry. He wears the uniform of an Army Sonderfuhrer, with the equivalent rank of lieutenant. On his left pocket he wears his large Gold Party Badge, above his WW I wound badge, and on the pocket flap of his right pocket he wears the Blood Order ribbon. The photo was obviously taken at the front. The tunic is simply an elisted quality tunic with Sonderfuhrer insignia. I have his Blood Order ( first pattern, cased ) and his Gold Party Badge in my collection. After I aquired them I located his son in Germany, who sent me the photo of his Father in Russia. I'll try to post it here.

Hehehehe
The reason I was up so early, is because I go to bed when I want and wake up when I want
Until school starts. Which is not very far away. But I do get plenty of sleep, but not in the same order as every one else.
Here is the photo that was posted above

What the heck is wrong with that guy? He looks as if he feel off the back of a Kfz69 ( Kubelwagen) and landed on his head . Well what ever it was that happened to him I'm sure it is what earned him that wound badge .
