I'm pleased to announce the planned expansion of the Soviet Awards Forum.
After the successful expansion of the "Soviet Bloc" 18 months ago which has encouraged over 4,000 new awards to be posted, many of which had never previously been seen anywhere on the internet - in any language.
It is time for further expansion - hopefully leading eventually to the forum covering all awards of the world from all time periods.
The first step is a new section covering the National Socialist world (since we already have "Socialist" the next logical step is "National Socialist"). An area with a large number of awards and a vast amount of interest and also were frequently awarded for actions against the Soviet world so the war can be seen from both sides. Let us all remember the German–Soviet Treaty Of Friendship, Cooperation and Demarcation.
This is fair warning to all members to mobilise this week to photograph their collections so posting can being in the new sections this weekend.
The countries covered in the first expansion will be:
Independent State Of Croatia 1941-1945
Republic Of Finland 1939-1944
French State 1940-1944
General Government 1939-1945
Greater German Reich 1933-1945
German Occupied Territories 1940-1945
Kingdom Of Hungary 1940-1945
Kingdom Of Italy 1922-1943
Italian Social Republic 1943-1945
Kingdom Of Romania 1940-1944
Slovak Republic 1939-1945
Spanish State 1936-1975
"National Socialist" Parties Of Other Nations
Lots of space for all the Second World War period items in our collection (including Oswald Ernald Mosley's British Union Of Fascists).
After this expansion be prepared for the next steps to be The British Empire (And Former Colonies), The United States And The Americas, Prussia And The German Empire, The French Republic And Empire (And Former Colonies) and so on until we have total coverage.
Get photographing and scanning! I'm sure everyone has some great bits and pieces hidden away. I have items taken from the Fuhrer Bunker by my cousin in 1945 along with items captured on Omaha Beach on D-Day. As Spike Milligan would say "There's a lot of it about".
Awards Of The World, Unite!
