HIGH RANK OFFICER INCLUDING SOME THAT WAS SECOND TO HITLER HAD THIS AWARD.

Just prior to the annexation of Danzig, Albert Forster, decreed the institution of the Danzig Cross on 31st August 1939.  Two grades of the award were authorised, namely the First and Second Class.  The award was, it was stated, "For meritorious service in the building up of the Nazi Party, within the free state of Danzig".

The First Class Cross is an extremely rare decoration.  A total of only 88 awards were made, the majority of which were conferred on 24th October 1939, the major presentation date decreed since the inception of the award two months previously.  It is not known if it was a requisite that the Danzig Cross – Second Class had to be awarded before the First Class could be conferred.  In the case of SS - Oberführer und Oberst der Schutzpolizei Hans Griep his file shows that he was awarded both classes.

THIS ONE IS RELIC FOUND IN GDANSK AREA (DANZIG CITY BACK IN WW2)
