[edit] Name, Disambiguation and German Equivalent

This article on a decoration was moved from "German Order", as "Deutscher Orden" is primarily associated with the nowadays charitable organisation, not this rare decoration. I could not find its equivalent on German Wikipedia, nor on the net. --Matthead 17:31, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Josef Bürckel

This entry has him awarded in October 1944, and suicide in November 1944. My research on the web says he died September 28, 1944. I can find no data on to support the Oct 44 or Nov 44 dates. Anyone have any idea? --Tony Hecht 05:05, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Title of this Wikipedia article

The medal here written about is in German language der Deutsche Orden. This translates to the Germany Medal. It does not translate to German Order, as this Wikipedia article suggests. MG 2/25/2006 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.39.36 (talkcontribs)

A medal can be called an "order" in English, as the Order of Canada. This is quite common in English. There are also orders of merit, orders of this, that, and the other. What seems like an odd translation to you actually suggested itself naturally. Kelisi 16:14, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Also note that der Deutsche Orden translates to the German Medal, not Germany as the anon suggested. --ShiningEyes 03:08, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
