The Spanish Anti-Bolshevik Volunteers Medal
(Errinerungsmedaille fur die Spanischen Freiwilligen im Kampf Bolschewismus)

[GOROME]

The decoration to that I talk about not I bring it to the forum by even attractive expectacular nor that could be (although there will be some yes looks like, for tastes is the colors) the reason is that fué the only official decoration created by the Government of Third Reich to be granted to the components of a unit composed by foreigners, this comes to us to confirm the prestige that like combatants, habian acquired with the Germans, the volunteers españoles.La medal fué granted the volunteers who participated in the Campaign of This fitting in the Blue Division from their incorporation to the front in 1941 to October of 1943. Fué in charge its manufacture díal 3 of January of 1944 to the company/signature of jewelers Deschler de Munich, who marked a small resistance as a mark of identity in the curtain ring with number "1" (Most of the German decorations they were made and made by jewelers of préstigio, which they marked with a personal sign the same ones). The diameter of the medal is of 32 mm. In the center of the face of the same one a helmet is observed German, supported in two shields containing the one of them eagle of the Werrmacht and the other the Phalange yoke and arrows, both are superposed as well to a horizontal sword. Underneath the shields is a estatica svastica flanked by small branches of laurel leaves. In reverso writing is appraised in the middle "Spanish Division of Volunteers in Russia" upon branches
Kind regards.

It was instituted on 3rd January 1944 to recognize the 250th Infantry Division. The medal was die struck in zinc alloy with a bronze wash. It shows on the bottom obverse a swastika with a spray of laurel leafs emanating from each side. The leafs are arranged differently on both ends. A sword crosses the center with two shields superimposed on it. The shield on the left shows the Wehrmacht eagle while the other featured the Falangists crushed arrows. Directly above the shields is an M-43 German helmet facing left, with the faint outline of the Wehrmacht Eagle on it.
The reverse bottom has an Iron Cross, with the ribbon spread above it intertwined with a spread of leaves on both sides. On the left it shows laurels while on the right oak leaves. In the center, the medal bore the inscription "DIVISION ESPANOLA DE VOLUNTARIOS EN RUSSIA" (Division of Spanish Volunteers in Russia).
