DDR DDR 4 place medal bar question

[U Boot Kapitan]

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me if this bar contains a correct combination of medals and what they were awarded for.

Kind regards,

Jason

Hi Jason,

the combination is not correct. The second medal from left must be positioned behind all the other medals.

Postion 1 and 3 from left: Verdienstmedaille der Organe des Ministeriums des Innern in Silber und Bronze (police medal for merit, second and third class).

Position 2 (the wrong placed medal): Medaille für Treue Dienste in den bewaffneten Organen des Ministeriums des Innern in Gold für 25 Jahre (police medal for faithful service).

Position 4: Verdienstmedaille der Kampfgruppen der Arbeiterklasse in Gold (or Silber?) (militia medal for merit).

The medals in Position 3 and 4 are back to front.

The pin appears to be upside down.

Thanks Chaps, and thanks to Uwe for his details of the medals and their correct positions.

When I get this piece I need to set about putting it in the right order!
