Nazi Germany s (1933-1945) reign of power over the world was one of the darkest times of mankind. Germany controlled almost all of Europe and had it not been for the fierce opposing countries, Germanys lack of supply, bad weather conditions, and other factors, Germany would have without difficulty subjugated Russia, and continued to conquer the rest of the world. The twelve years (1933-1945) of German history produced the county s first and only complete range of national orders and decorations, some of which had significant effects on future and upcoming awards of other countries. In the following pages of this reference book you will not only learn how these awards came to fruition, but you will also see period original photos of them being worn. You will also learn about what it took to receive each specific award, and clear color photos at the end of each chapter. Adolf Hitler issued and created a spectrum of awards, with over 200 different combat awards created during his reign of power. He used the awards of Germany for a two- fold effect, to boost his soldier s moral, and also to promote acts of needed bravery and heroism. He used the awards he created as a tool to continue his war machine, and giving out these awards worked to his benefit, and in some instances with great success. The soldiers of his armies continued on, and in most cases to their death, all in the Name of the F�hrer and Fatherland . When looking through the pages at these awards, it is perhaps not surprising that their outstanding quality, striking appearance, and sheer diversity has never since been matched in the field of Medals/Awards of any country. Some of the awards of Germany contained Diamonds, Platinum, Gold or Silver, and were stunning works of art. Not only the historic values of some of these awards are extremely rare, but the extrinsic value is almost equal. The beauty of these awards has not, or ever will be equaled. I hope you enjoy this reference book on Medals/Aw
