Talk:Minesweeper War Badge

Re-issue = misunderstanding
The wartime medals were not "re-issued by Bundesmarine" post-war. The Orders Act (a law, not a "decision") simply permits wearing wartime medals if nazi symbols are removed. It was up to the decorated individuals to purchase such reworked medals. As these weren't "issued" in any form, it was of course not possible to earn them in Bundesmarine.Wschroedter (talk) 10:56, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * What it’s saying is that a de-nazified version was produced for (retired or active) members of the German Navy to wear, post-war. Members that had earned the medal during World War II. They were only able to wear it, if it was the de-nazified version. With that said, I tweaked the article language to be more clear. Kierzek (talk) 15:50, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
