In the Wehrmacht between 1935 and 1945 there was an almost confusing number of awards, medals and decorations. But not only military medals, but also recognition for sporting achievements were awarded back then, and this had been the case since the Weimar Republic. However, when the Third Reich continued this tradition, these medals and decorations quickly acquired a political overtone because the Nazi rulers misunderstood sporting achievements as preparation for military service. Volker A. Behr deals with the wide range of awards that were given for sporting achievements in Germany between 1921 and 1945.

You can find further illustrated books, repair instructions, operating instructions, restoration instructions, workshop manuals and other automotive literature on eBay or on request!
