updated 2021-01-07

6 202 883 medals awarded for Combatants

Among all awarded was Hermann Göring on 1st sept 1934 and Adolf Hitler 4th Sept 1934. But not only Germans was awarded this medal

Finnish soldiers from the 27th JaegerBtl for example also about 70 Swedish soldiers.

For now I have the names of 7 Swedish soldiers with Honour Cross.

Would I like a documented one to a Swedish fighter ?

These crosses can differ quite a lot from different makers, the weight is about 9 gram but

Maker RV 47 Pforzheim weighs only 8,7 gr and Sch & H is a hevyweight with 10,0 gr.

the colour varies from golden bronce to chocolate brown.
