Talk:Close Combat Clasp

Number of awarded gold close combat clasps
The German article mentions 631 awards, this one 633. I'll add a Fact tag. Also note that ""Deutsche Kriegsauszeichnungen 1936-1945  Heer - Waffen-SS - Polizei" von Rolf Michaelis - S. 84" seems to note only "about 650", taken from  Tierlieb (talk) 08:35, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

One reason why the estimated number of awards varies is that, in the very late stages of the war, not all awards were properly recorded. The "about 650" figure is probably an attempt to reflect these late awards.
