On 30 January 1944 Hitler
instigated this clasp to reward members of the army and Waffen-SS who had been
entered on the 'Honour Roll of the German Army'. This roll had been started in July 1941 to
record the honourable and heroic deeds carried out by its members. No tangible evidence of an entry on the roll
existed. This badge filled the purpose
of being an outward show of inclusion on the honour roll. It comprises of a finely gilded and stamped
wreath of oak leaves, with a ribbon and tie at its base and a large square
swastika in its centre. The badge is
finely executed and gives a definite three-dimensional appearance. The wreath measures 24.5 mm across and is formed
of five bunches of oak leaves on either side, comprising of two and three
bunches respectively. The width of the
wreath is 5 mm at the widest point and this tapers to the apex where the two
sides meet with a single oak leaf, tip to tip.
At the base, the bow is full and forms the base of the badge itself with
a width of 21 mm. The height of the
badge from the base of the ties to the tip of the apex is 26 mm. The swastika is of the non mobile type and
stands proud of the top of the wreath.
The legs of the swastika have a fine indented line running round the
whole of the emblem. The swastika itself
produces two forms of this badge and they are namely the one in which the
swastika is separately attached to the wreath by the tips of its forearms and then
soldered, while the other form is die struck as a one piece striking. Both pieces look superficially identical but
can be differentiated by the void between the swastika and the wreath at the
attachment points. The reverse takes
the outline exactly in negative of the obverse, being stamped in the latter
form while the swastika is flat in the former.
It has four pins for attachment on the reverse, to enable it to be
secured to a piece of Iron Cross ribbon, Second Class. Approximately 4,556 awards of this clasp were
rendered at the end of hostilities, making it a considerably rare award.
The recipient had already to be
in the possession of the Iron Cross First and Second Class. The clasp was worn on the ribbon of the Iron
Cross Second Class at the second buttonhole of the uniform. If the recipient already held an Iron Cross
Second Class bar, he only wore the Roll of Honour Clasp.
From the collector's point of
view, the smallness of its size and the way that it was attached to the tunic,
has made this a very difficult award to obtain.
It was contained in a small,
black, oblong box, with cream flocked base on which the badge sat, with the
ends of the Iron Cross ribbon being tucked underneath the bed that produced the
base. On some examples of the bed, the
maker's mark for Richard Klein is encountered embossed into the corner. This comprises of a capital 'K' in a circle
with three inverted chevrons in a further circle beside the first. The lid lining was of white silk.
Meitzel Helmut – Major.
