Product Information

Here we have an early excellent West Wall medal.. It is constructed out of a die struck tombak base that has been bronze washed. The oval badge depicts an embossed profile of a German National eagle, with out stretched wings clutching a wreathed swastika in its talons, above a crossed spade shovel and broad sword, which is again above a bunker on a hill. This all lies on a smooth field and is surrounded by a laurel leaf wreath that is tied together at the top and bottom. The reverse of the badge depicts an embossed inscription of “Für Arbeit Zum Schutze Deutschlands”  - For Work for the Protection of Defense of Germany

The West Wall medal was awarded to those who designed, built, fortified or served at Germany’s western borders
