The Anschluss Commemorative Medal (German: Die Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 13.
März 1938) was a decoration of Nazi Germany awarded during the interwar period, and the first in a series of Occupation Medals.
Instituted on 1 May 1938, the medal commemorated the annexation of Austria by the German Reich, the so-called Anschluss.
The Anschluss medal was not among those awards reauthorized for official wear by the Federal Republic of Germany in 1957.
[5] The circular, highly detailed, die-struck medal was based on the 1938 Party Day Badge and designed by Professor Richard Klein.
