Good evening, Gentlemen? Do you have any idee what kind of breast star Veiel is wearing (left)? Thanks!

This small image not much help---Looks like maybe a Romanian Crown at neck, so possibly accompanying star.  Besides 1914 Iron Cross with 1939 Spange, may be Bulgarian Military Bravery Order 3rd class, lst division & wound badge left side and War Order of the German Cross right side.  Button hole Winter Battle in the East 1941–42 Medal.

The right pocket breast star should be the Bulgarian Military Merit Order 1. Class with War Decoration (15.8.1941).
