Attributed SS ribbon bars

[James Clark]

For those who haven't seen it, well worth a look at Detlev Niemann's update from yesterday for a rare chance to see a pair of SS ribbon bars as part of an attributed SS-Leibstandarte RK group. (For medal bar collectors: the medal bar in the Luftwaffe RK group is also interesting).

Here it is. Oberstubaf. Georg Schönberger, Kdr SS-Pz Reg 1, KIA 20.11.1943:

Notice the "blank" long service ribbon. For whatecer reason, the mini SS long service devices were very rarely used.

Lower ranks very often have a Bulgarian war ribbon bravery award from the Yugoslav/Greek campaigns from the spring of 1941, and a 1941/42 East Medal-- all classic indiciators of LSSAH groups.

Of course it is always entirely possoble when an Iron Cross/"blank" long service/"triple flowers" combination shows up that it MIGHT have been Polizei or RAD, chances are it is LSSAH.

So always keep an eye out for COMBAT "blank" bars.
