For an odd prime number p, we consider degree p extensions L/K of p-adic fields with normal closure Le such that the Galois group of Le/K is the dihedral group of order 2p. We shall prove a complete characterization of the freeness of the ring of integers OL over its associated order AL/K in the unique Hopf-Galois structure on L/K, which is analog to the one already known for cyclic degree p extensions of p-adic fields.
We shall derive positive and negative results on criteria for the freeness of OL as AL/K-module.
