German WW2 Austrian Anschluss Medal w/ Award Document

Framed and matted for display, this original German WW2 Anschluss Commemorative Medal award document was issued to First Lieutenant Gerhard Oschatz on July 22, 1940, recognizing his role in the 1938 reunification of Austria with Nazi Germany. The award is boldly signed by Otto Meissner, Minister of State and Chief of the Presidential Chancellery, and features both stamp and ink signatures, hallmarks of official Nazi-era state documentation.

The Anschluss Commemorative Medal (Die Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 13. März 1938) was the first in a series of Occupation Medals issued by the Third Reich during the interwar period. These awards symbolized territorial expansion and political unity under Hitler’s regime and were commonly issued to military and civil officials who took part in the annexation efforts.

Professionally framed and matted, this historical document is ready for your wall, office, or war room, an eye-catching addition to any WWII militaria collection.
