	? re Memel medal issue case - Wehrmacht-Awards.com Militaria Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		I have the issue cases for the medal of 3/13/38 (red with gold national emblem on the lid) and the medal of 10/1/38 (maroon with gold emblem), but I don't have (and have never seen) the issue case for the other "Flower Wars" medal for the return of the Memelland.
		This is a question that did also crossed my mind several months ago, there is no other known case for the memelland medal then the red case as can be found with the medal of 13.
		This proves that at least he is convinced that there does in fact exist a special case for the Memelland medal.

		Kurisches Haff), also known as a part of the Memelland, Prussian Lithuania or Lithuania Minor, can be characterised as an area of shifting political and legal systems with a high degree of population transfer, displacement, deportation and resettlement.
		In contrast to this, the former German inhabitants and their offspring have quite different versions and application of the locality's past.
		Despite having lived in Germany for 45 years and not being allowed to visit their place of origin, the memory of Nidden was relived, newly reimagined and shared with others over the years in the course of meetings of Heimatvertriebenen organisations, Memelland groups and Niddener gatherings.

		That was forbidden, and, further, we were not able to do so because most of the SA had no previous military training and could not base the exercises on military situations.
		Did the region of Memelland belong to Esthonia, Latvia and Lithuania, or was it a part of the province of East Prussia; I believe I can say the prosecution is confusing the SA Group Ostland with the so-called Reichskommissariat.
		I should like to say: In East Prussia, the SA Group Ostland, we had an SA unit and we organized and directed it.

		Ein Buch, für das Landschaften des Memellandes grundlegend waren, eines Landes also, das nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg nicht mehr zu Deutschland gehörte, diente scheinbar den Zwecken der Nazi-Propaganda, die sich für die Rückeroberung des Memellandes "heim ins Reich" einsetzte.
		In Wirklichkeit aber bleibt das Buch einem großdeutschen Pathos fern, und der Wert des darin enthaltenen Bildmaterials erscheint heute besonders hoch.
		Hier, in der DDR, versuchte er zu seiner Tilsiter Lebensperiode sogar gedanklich nie mehr zurückzukommen.In den 1990er Jahren wurde Engelhardt von der Journalistin Ulla Lachauer wieder entdeckt.

		Yet there was another contested region, the MEMELLAND, (Klaipeda) formerly part of Prussia/Germany, but placed under French administration until a plebiscite would decide over the area's future (with Germany or Lithuania).
		When in 1923 Germany itself was focussed on the Rhineland (occupied by the French), on coups d'etat and on hyperinflation, Lithuanian troops occupied the Memelland; in 1924 Lithuania annexed the area, without holding the plebiscite.
		There was little protest from the side of the Entente.
