Here is your chance to own a wonderful example of a Westwall medal. This is a later example produced in zinc. Just about perfect! The West Wall medal was instituted on 2 August 1939 and was given to those who designed and built the fortifications on Germany’s western borders, known as the Westwall between 15 June 1938 to 31 March 1939. On 13 November 1939 eligibility was extended to include servicemen of the Wehrmacht who served on the Westwall for at least ten weeks. In all 622,064 medals were awarded until 31 January 1941, when awards of the medal ceased. In 1944, after the allied invasion, the medal was re-instituted and awarded to those who renovated and strengthened the fortifications on the western borders. It was awarded to over 800,000 men in total by the end of the war. Free shipping ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD & I don’t charge PayPal fees like some of the other guys!
