<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 3184905, member: 39&quot;]Err, what? Our date format is simply &quot;ascending&quot; (day-month-year), so 11.8. is the eleventh of August. The Hitler-Ludendorff coup was on 11/8 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> and thus about three months later. The date on that medal refers to when Germany <strike>stopped</strike> the reparation payments. (Edit - &quot;stopped&quot; is not quite right; there was a call to stop them, and on that day the British government criticized the Belgian-French position regarding the reparation and Ruhr occupation.)
