Iron Cross 1939 second class, war merit, Ostfront, Austria entry, Sudeten entry. Looks good. NH

thank you NH. I suspected it would be as it came in a box with 2 ostfront, an ek2, and a bronze KV which all look good to me. thanks awfully for teaching me about the osterreich anschluss, i couldn't find a pic of it online.
Oh yes, I missed the Ostfront medal in the middle. That is an easy one to identify - the others are a little trickier. I corrected the medal list above for future reference. NH
Karl - where are you located? Ribbon bars like this show up all the time at the Allentown Forks of the Delaware show. Neil
Thanks for your interest Neil. I live in Lincolnshire, UK. I'm especially thrilled about the östereich Anschluss ribbon as my omi was there. As she was born in Vienna in 1928. In fact she once saw AH at one of his gigs. She, like many others, loved him at first when the lorries of peas and potatoes started arriving. But then was horrified when Jewish people she knew disappeared. My uncle was in the SS too. Conscripted in the W-SS in 1944.

And my great grandmother, my omi's mum, was awarded the silver mutterkreuz. Only 7 kids so she missed out in the gold. Not that she ever bothered to collect it.
Oh, and please, for gods sake don't think I have any warped pride in my uncle being in the WSS or any sympathy with any NSDAP politics.
