SARGE Posted December 20, 2021 Share #3 Posted December 20, 2021 The top sleeve badge worn by this Luftwaffe Corporal is the Krim shield for fighting in the Crimea. The lower chevrons are the rank insignia for a Corporal. It looks like he is also wearing a black wound badge but I don't immediately recognize the ribbon worn button hole style.

SARGE Posted December 21, 2021 Share #7 Posted December 21, 2021 Hmmmm, interesting. With that wide central stripe I wonder if it is a worn example of the Commemorative Medal of 1 Oktober 1938 for the annexation of the Sudentenland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daskrieg Posted December 21, 2021 Share #8 Posted December 21, 2021 If you enlarge the pic like i did you can see the stripe is for the Romanian Crusade against Communism....... That award was awarded by the Rumanians to their allies in the Crimeria, so everything lines up with this photo and his Krim award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
