Instituted in 1944, only a few were issued to "old fighters" of the Kampfzeit. In October of 1938, Southern Moravia became a part of Gau Ostmark (formerly Austria), Southern Bohemia was made a part of Bavaria, and what remained was proclaimed Gau Sudetenland. The Gauleiter of this area was Konrad Heinlein, and the headquarters were established at Reichenberg.
