Anschluss Medal

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.
