The Crimea Shield (German: Krimschild) was a World War II Germanmilitary decoration awarded to military personnel under the command ofGeneralfeldmarschall Erich von Manstein who fought against Soviet Russian forces and captured the Crimea region (Krim in German) between 21 September 1941 and 4 July 1942. It was instituted on 25 July 1942 and was the most widely distributed of the various German shields with approximately 250,000 being awarded.
The Wehrmacht's Army Group South advanced through the Crimean peninsula between the Autumn of 1941 and Summer of 1942. To commemorate the hostilities that ended with the German capture ofSevastopol on 4 July, 1942 the Crimea Shield was created for all members of Field Marshal Erich von Manstein's 11th Army.
The shield is headed by the German eagle clutching a laurel wreath surrounding a swastika. Flanking the eagle are the dates 1941 and 1942, the start and end dates of the campaign. This sits on the backdrop of the Crimean peninsula, where the fighting took place, which has the wordKRIM stamped across it.
