Odulf Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) Recently I received this portrait (dated 1944) of a soldier but with an interesting four place ribbon bar, comprising the NSDAP Long Service Awards in Bronze (10 yrs) and Silver (15 yrs), a combination seldom seen on the chest of a common Grenadier, and also in his button hole the ribbon of the Winter Campaign Medal. in Russia 1941/42.

Guest Rick Research Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 That is just about the perfect example of the oddity of NSDAP long service award ribbon bars. Unlike any other long service awards, with seniority being a good indicator of rank... no correlation here with Party awards. He doesn't look old enough for that length of pre-1933 double time-- maybe an early and the overage Hitler Youth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
