Memel Medal
The Return of Memel Commemorative Medal (''Die Medaille zur Erinnerung an die Heimkerhr des Memellandes 22. März 1939'') was a decoration of Nazi Germany awarded in the interwar period, and the last of the series of Occupation Medals. ==Description== In the last bloodless action, Germany annexed the Klaipėda Region (Memel Territory) from Lithuania on 22 March 1939 after an oral ultimatum. On 23 March a peaceful occupation of the city and district was carried out by German troops who debarked by ship. This area of East Prussia, with 160,000 inhabitants, had been turned over to Lithuania in the aftermath of World War I following the Klaipėda Revolt and Klaipėda Convention of 1924. To commemorate the occupation the "Memel Medal" was authorized on 1 May 1939. It was awarded until 1 December 1940. In all 31,322 medals were awarded.〔http://antique-photos.com/en/awardsdatabase/third-reich/344-the-return-of-memel-commemorative-medal.html〕
