Blue Division Medal. Spanish troop version. This is the first model manufactured by Díez y Compañía S.A., Madrid.
Created by Ministerial Order on November 9, 1943, it was awarded to all combatants who were part of the Blue Division.
The medal consists of the Army emblem in silver, overlaid with a painted (not enameled—the enameled versions are later productions) German Iron Cross, and on the reverse, a broken chain surrounding the Cathedral of Saint Sophia protected by the Kremlin, with the inscription «Russia 1941.»
This first model is identified by its trimmed wings and tail.
Stamped brass.
