Take a rare look at a little known Third Reich badge awarded to
volunteers from the occupied eastern territories who served in
various German formations. As the German military situation
worsened in 1942, Hitler authorized formation of so-called eastern
units made up of Slavic volunteers. With the number of eastern
volunteers rising rapidly and many of them already having
distinguished themselves in action, the question of how to honor
their service arose. In July 1942, Hitler ordered the awarding of
the Decoration for Eastern Peoples. Those permitted to be awarded
included Turkish units, Cossack units, Crimean Tatar units,
Auxiliary Police (Schutzmannschaft) Battalions, unarmed auxiliaries
(Hilfswilligen, or Hiwis) in German units, and domestic security
units in the operations zone. Very rare examples of actual badges,
award documents and soldbuchs, and never before seen war era images
are presented here.
