DDR/SED "Honour" Medals
A couple of medals here that you won't find listed in the hierarchy of DDR awards. Why? Well, they aren't really awards for doing anything... particularly. Yes, they are anniversary awards... but not meant for the masses. There were "znacki" quality badges, for the masses, made for the events that sort of mimic these medals but these nicely made and packaged medals were meant for the "mucky-mucks"... the high ranking party elite. When I questioned Frank Bartel about the DDR 20th Anniversary medal, he said it would be correctly categorized as an SED Honour Award. I believe the FDJ 25th Anniversary medal would follow suit. The DDR 20th was issued in 1969; the FDJ 25th in 1971.
