German War Commemorative Medal 1939-1940.
With the campaign in Western Europe having been concluded in June 1940, it was proposed that a medal would be created and issued to those forces involved in the campaign. The medal is die cast with a slightly uneven but pleasing toned silvered finish. This will polish but we have left the medal as is. The ribbon design is uncertain but believed to be the same as that used for the Franco Prussian War medal and the 1914-18 Honour Cross.
The medal was never issued but a number of prototypes were manufactured by the firm E. F. Wiedmann of Frankfurt am Main.
A very interesting award!

The German WWII Wehmacht military and Third Reich civil decorations and medals offered by the Regalia Specialist are full size awards made to the most exacting standards whilst still providing excellent value for money. Where possible original Third Reich period tools and dies obtained from Germany in the 1980's are used and traditional European manufacturing techniques are employed.
