Could anyone please identify these ribbons and awards please?

[RTH]

Good morning,

Just trying to colourise a photo, but have been brought to a halt by not knowing what the awards are. I think the first one is an Iron Cross, and on the left side there is a german cross of some sort. Not sure about the others though. Could anyone please help me? I have one image that I use as reference, but it's more difficult when they have pins on the ribbons as well.

EDIT: And I'm pretty sure that the bar above the ribbons is the close combat badge maybe? Sorry, I know nothing about medals.

Many thanks

You are correct in that the first one is an Iron Cross. The second I believe is a War Merit Cross and the fourth looks like a Party Long Service Award (15 Years). The third looks like it might be a Sudetenland Medal but I'm not 100% certain.

EDIT: The bar does indeed look like a close combat clasp but I couldn't tell you if it's gold, silver, or bronze.

EDIT 2: Given how bright the clasp is, and that it doesn't quite match up with the silver colouring of the frames of his Iron Crosses, paired with the fact that the fellow in the photo is rather well decorated, I would guess that it's gold. If you have his name you might be able to look him up and see his service record.

Thank you very much for that. I'm afraid I don't think I have his name. Many thanks anyway

Hello RTH.

Just to add to JTs info, this is what I have come up with.

1 - Iron Cross 2nd Class (Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klass)
2 - Possibly War Merit Cross 2nd Class with Swords (kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern)
3 - Russian Front Medal (Ostmedaille)
4 - ?
5 - German Cross (Deutsches Kreuz)
6 - Close Combat Clasp (Nahkampfspange)

Hi mates.

IMHO:
1. Eisernes Kreuz 2 Klase - 2nd Class 1939 - Iron Cross
2. Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2.Klasse mit Schwertern - War Merit Cross 2nd Class with Swords.
3. Ost Medaille "Winterschlacht im Osten 1941/42" (Ostmedaille) - Russian Front Medal.
4. Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938 - Commemorative Medal october 1st 1938.

Although it is a black and white photograph....

I think I've finished it. Criticisms welcome. Never really happy with the face though. Many thanks for the help.
