The DDR (East German) security forces "Stasi" under Erich Mielke issued a set of 4 silver table medals for outstanding accomplishments. These medals honor the efforts of three Germans and several Japanese to warn and inform the Soviet Union of Hitler's and Japan's intentions in 1941. One of these medals shows Dr. Richard Sorge on the front and the inscription on his tombstone (in German) on the back: "Here, a hero rests who gave his life fighting war, for peace in the whole world, born 1895 in Baku, came to Japan in 1933, arrested in 1941, executed on November 7, 1944."
