The guys who fought for the Axis side were generally treated as war criminals and subject to jail or execution following the war's end... they would not be given one of these.
My father in law got one given out in the 1980's when Norway belatedly recognized the role that the merchant marine played in winning the wsr. This was typical of most Allied nations, a shame really. He was kind of pissed and never did show his medal to anyone or talk much about his war experiences.
