In all 622,064 medals were awarded until 31 January 1941, when awards of the medal ceased.
In 1944, after the allied invasion, the medal was re-instituted and awarded to those who renovated and strengthened the fortifications on the western borders. This version of the medal was commonly known as the “Defence Wall Honor Award”, to distinguish the decoration from its 1939 counterpart.
It was awarded to over 800,000 men in total by the end of the war.
