German decorations awarded to members of the United States military German decorations awarded to members of the United States military have held an interesting " love – hate relationship " with the United States military beginning as far back as the American Revolution when various mercenary soldiers from Europe , who had served in the military forces of the German kingdoms , joined the Colonial forces and displayed , with various degrees of standardization , German medals on American uniforms . During the American Civil War a similar situation developed with some soldiers , on both sides of the conflict , holding prior service in European conflicts and thus having been decorated with various German military decorations . Both during the Civil War and the American Revolution , there was no effort to formulate any sort of regulations regarding the wear of foreign medals on USA ( and CSA ) uniforms with those soldiers who felt they were entitled to such medals simply displaying them as a matter of course . By the time of the First World War , German decorations had faded from the military memory of the United States and , during the actual conflict where Germany and America were on opposing sides , any award of a German decoration to an American soldier would have been unheard of . By 1938 , the only authorization of a Nazi decoration occurred in the U . S . military when the Order of the German Eagle was authorized for presentation ( but not general wear ) to some American service members who had been stationed in Germany at various diplomatic posts . Charles Lindbergh was one of the most notable recipients of this decoration . During World War II , Nazi decorations became awards of the enemy and therefore there was no thought of their display on American uniforms . Even so , cases were reported in POW camps of some American military members , who had been sentenced to forced labor receiving the War Merit Medal for " high production " or performing above the standards expected of an enemy prisoner . There are no records , however , of an American willingly accepting a Nazi decoration nor did the United States military ever authorize a Nazi award to be displayed on a U . S . uniform . By the 1960s , the government of West Germany had begun presenting medals to senior U . S . military leaders stationed in Germany as part of the NATO defense plan against the Warsaw Pact . By the 1980s and the 1990s , firmer regulations had allowed by the awarding of German awards to enlisted personnel , with marksmanship and sports badges topping the list . This practice continued after German reunification and into the present day . The Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany was last awarded to a US officer in 2003 and is today rarely awarded to only very senior US officers . Most of those were to the SACEUR usually as " end - of - tour " decorations . The German Proficiency and Marksmanship Badges are far more commonly awarded , mainly to U . S . Army and Air Force personnel . See also . Authorized foreign decorations of the United States military
