    Identification of Ribbon bar


    Recommended Posts

    Hello Gentlemen,

    Im trying to identificate the ribbons in second row of ribbon bars of General der Panzertruppe Gerhard Graf von Schwerin.

    I think are Italians, its correct ?

    if yes, can anyone identificate them ??

    The second one is certainly the Order of the Crown of Italy with a miniature crown device indicating either Commander (gold) or Officer (silver) grade-- as worn by the Germans in "Kleindekoration" form.

    Ironically enough, here is the same ribbon on an AMERICAN officer's ribbon bars:

    Compared with Vizeadmiral zS Lietzmann's bars, showing his covered over "in shame" after the 1943 defection of Italy:

    How often can both sides wear the SAME award from the same war? :catjava:

    Perhaps the Italians were fickle in his friendships :lol:

    Thx for the info...

    Seeing the picture in close-up, the other decoration has a crown also, and has a one color only, Saint Mauritius and Lazarus Order maybe ???
