The West Wall medal was instituted on August 2nd, 1939, to recognize those who designed and built the fortifications on Germany's western borders and also the troops who were stationed there prior to May 1940. The awarding of this Medal ceased on January 31, 1941, by which time 622,064 had been awarded. As the allies threatened the German border again in 1944 after the D-day invasion, the fortification of the frontiers became necessary. Therefore, a second production run was conducted to reward the workers and military personnel strengthening the Siegfried line. A bar with the date "1944" was authorized for those who already held the 1939 version. |
