Political decorations of the Nazi Party were medals and awards issued by the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) between 1920 and 1945. Political awards were authorized for wear on any paramilitary uniform of Nazi Germany, as well as civilian attire, but were generally frowned upon for display (but not forbidden) on active duty military uniforms of the Wehrmacht. The Waffen-SS freely wore both political awards and military decorations on their uniforms.
