Footnote: These table medals (non-portable awards) were usually event oriented or in recognition for service or achievement. They were not officially recognized as a national award, but rather were rendered by a local unit/organization or event chairman. "Home" in the sense used on the award implies permanent buildings in which Hitler Youth could meet for indoor activities, as distinct from transit hostels.
