German Social Welfare Medal with Ribbon

German Social Welfare Medal with Ribbon | Medaille für Deutsche Volkspflege

This is an authentic Third Reich-era "Medaille für Deutsche Volkspflege" (Medal for German Social Welfare) — a civilian award presented to individuals who demonstrated exceptional service in public health, social care, or humanitarian efforts.

The front (obverse) shows:

• A German eagle with swastika superimposed over a stylized cross


• Symbolizing charity, national service, and self-sacrifice


• “Medaille für deutsche Volkspflege” in Gothic script
  
  

Suspended from its original red and white ribbon, this medal was awarded to nurses, welfare workers, and other civil personnel involved in health and social assistance services under the NSDAP regime.
