Israeli medals for WW2 veterans: Left - cased 60 years victory medal with certificate. Middle - cased 55 years victory medal with ribbonbar and certificate. Right - Disabled veteran association medal.

could anyone tell me more information about this 10 years service decoration?

First one is Heinrich Hoffmann, second is Wilhelm Anhalt, third could be Wilhelm Meentzen althought I haven't been able to find another good photo of him to be 100% sure.

The highest DDR decoration is Held der DDR (Hero of the DDR).

Thanks!

But than again who doesn't?

Seeking any information about this WW1 German general.

It's not the first time this award is giving to an American soldier. Here is Lt. Col. Gerhardt Weber, left, presents Lt. Col. Michael Childers the Silver Cross of Honor of the German Armed Forces.

Viruses at imageshack? what are talking about? (what anti-virus program do you use?), anyway the images are too big to post in the site, if you PM me your email I could send them to you.

And here is Roman Yagel, a retired Israeli Police Brigadier General, wearing his Polish, Soviet and Israeli decorations.

And here Israeli veterans of the British army Jewish Brigade, you could see by there ribbon bar that they took part in many of Israel wars.

The last words in the back are: "In Regards A.V Shwimer General manager" The front: In blue under the Israeli coat of arms "The State of Israel Security office This certificate show that Levi Itchak I.D number 0378544 Was awarded the ribbon of the Yom Kippur war Shimon Peres Minister of Security"

"Israel Aircraft Industries To Levi Itzchak You have been awarded The ribbon of the Yom Kippur war for your contribution to the war efford" Can't see clearly who signed it, perhaps you could make a better scan? It's also look like it's was an award to civilian worker and not army personal, this ribbon was giving to anyone who took part in the war so it's very common award (I would estimate more than 400,000 ribbons were awarded).

Yes, it's the Luftwaffe pilot badge with diamonds.

Not entirely sure about it but I think the shape of the oak leaves on the RK mean it's was made early after the war.

I'm trying to compose a list of all the decoration Michael Wittmann receive and the exact dates that there were awarded, here what I have so far: 13/03/38 Awarded Austria reunification medal 01/10/38 Awarded Sudetenland medal 12/07/41 Awarded Iron Cross 2nd Class 20/08/41 Awarded Wound Badge in Black 08/09/41 Awarded Iron Cross First Class 21/11/41 Awarded Tank Assault Badge in Silver 14/01/44 Awarded the Knight's Cross 30/01/44 Awarded the Oakleaves 22/06/44 Awarded the Swords He also receive the Royal Bulgarian Soldiers Cross of the Order of Bravery 2nd Class and the ost-front medal in Aug. 1942, however I don't know the exact date. Also sine he join the SS at 01/04/37 he was qualified to the SS long service medal for 4 years at 01/04/41, however I don't know if this medal was awarded automaticly at the exact date or was it delay for some reasons (like being in combat situations, approval by commander, etc.). I also wasn't able to find if he was awarded the Prague bar to the Sudetenland medal, as the LSSAH also took part in the annexation of Czechoslovakia (he receive the Sudetenland medal when he, as part of the LSSAH enter the Sudetenland). Any addition information and correction you could provide would be welcome.

All I know is that it's a Bundeswehr badge from the design of the eagle.

His other neck decoration (except the RK & PLM) is the Italian order of the house of Savoy.

Here a great pic of Rommel wearing his ribbon bar.

He was the first German cosmonaut and like all cosmonauts after he return from space he was awarded the HSU, that is also the reason he receive the Hero of the DDR award.
