any idea what this award stands for ?
-
This is what is called a table medal, they where common in the Third Reich but were more frequently used in the DDR.
STADTKOMMANDANTUR DER HAUPTSTADT DER DDR BERLIN if i remember correctly was awarded to the different regional commanders or STADTKOMMANDANTUR of the Berlin military District. While rather ornate they are surprisingly common.
The man on the back would not a Grenztruppen but a Volksarmee member, Grenztruppen awards where always very specific

thanks man, i dont know where i got the Grenztruppen- idea from, as being an NVA- award, the Soldat must also be from the NVA. I believe the Brandenburger Tor tricked me.. Thanks for the info, nothing is worse than an collection item without context..
