German WW2 Reserve-Luftsperr-Abteilung 207 Medaille 1939

A very hard to find medal.

The Luftsperr means Barrage balloons in english and were large, hydrogen-filled tethered balloons used primarily during WWII to defend cities, ships, and industrial areas against low-level enemy aircraft. They forced planes to fly higher, making them vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire. The steel cables posed a severe collision risk.

Issued at Christmas 1939.

Made of silverwashed tombak/buntmetal.

Diameter 33 mm.

With blue original ribbon.
