Need Help Identifying These Medals
My friend’s dad was in the Hitler youth. He was conscripted to fight in the battle of Berlin, he gave me these two medals I don’t know if he found them while fighting or got them himself. If anyone has information on these medals please say.

Welcome Michael.
I have uploaded the one photo for you. Is this the only photo?
The award with the eagle appears to be at first glance an Iron Cross Spange 2nd Class.
I have no idea what the piece is with the bust of Hitler.
Photo quality is key in determining originality and in the case here we need much clearer, closer photos of the front and back (while this is your first post I can understand that you not aware of this)
My gut is telling me that the Spange is a reproduction and the bust of Hitler is what we call a "4th Reich" or a fantasy item that never existed. I know I at least have never seen something like this in all the years I have been collecting. Look forward to hearing from other member here.
Here is an example of an original 2nd clsss Spange (first photo, award on the right) as well as an example of the type of photos needed (They don't need to be this good but hopefully you understand what we are looking for).
1939 Spange zum Eisernen Kreuzes 1st Klasse 1914 - Duemer L/11 (EK1 Spange )

M

Good day.
I agree with MAP.
Badge with Adolf's head is a fantasy piece & I have never seen such one before. Where are those fakers getting these terrible ideas from?
The EK2 spange is a clear fake to me as well.
"Friend of Yours" is trying to fool You.

Here are closer pictures I have to be sure because if I tell them it’s not real it’ll be an uproar.

As said before, it is fake.
Maybe that friend is not a friend, think about that twice.
Please add photos directly here ( it is easy to do ) instead of using those web pages.

Here To Find Out Some Info
Michael:
If you can't upload from a PC, a screen shot from you phone would suffice. We need the photos uploaded so that the thread (which is a future reference tool) will not become useless when the linked photos are no longer available.
That said....as Peter confirmed, this Spange is a fake. Appears to be a cast copy. Im sure that your friend's father might have been in the HJ but he more than likely aquired these at a different time. The fact that one of them is a fantasy award only strengthens this hypothesis. It is not uncommon for us on the forum to see similar stories.
We evalute the items, not the story as memories fade after 75 years.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Already done" Michael, but I don't see where he uploaded all of his photos in this thread.
