German WWII Unissued Czech Annexation Medal-These medals were awarded to all persons, military or civilian, who actively participated in the annexation of Czechoslovakia. They feature a matte bronze finished round medal and the obverse depicts ethnic German breaking the chains of bondage carrying the flag of national socialism. The reverse has the script “Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer” around the edge and “1 Oktober 1938” in the center. These examples retain the majority of their finish and has no visible wear. There is a piece of original ribbon and the packet of issue, which is maker marked. This was part of a veteran’s cache removed from the Reichskanzlei (Reich Chancellery) in 1945. I personally purchased these items from the family of an Army LTC, whose name we will provide to the buyer. They told me he was a great person who served with pride during WWII. He had seen a lot of action during the last year of the war and seldom spoke of those times. He did tell his family that he was a liaison officer stationed in Berlin right after the war ended and was able to sweet talk the Russian sentries and get access to the Reichskanzlei building. He was able to pick up over 200 unissued medals such as West Wall, War Merit Crosses, Eastern Peoples medals and Russian Front medals. We have a few, and come with a great backstory. We have a few.
