January 22Jan 22 #1 One way of doing it we imagine, knotting the Ribbon with Cross through and around the buttonhole. Think this is in Yugoslavia in April 41, unknow Sergeant and unit.
February 23Feb 23 Author #3 Here's one just awarded to a Luftwaffe man, one of the methods, we guess one of the methods with their Fliegerbluse and its concealed button-front, looks like the entire ribbon is just shoved into the opening for the button, with the front there still buttoned.
February 24Feb 24 #4 Great pics! I love to see photos of awards, equipment, or anything else in a war time photo that wasn't used or worn in the conventional way. Between my Dad's accounts of his actions in the ETO and those of a couple of his squad mates I was fortunate to have located and spoke with a few years back, they weren't very concerned with the official way of doing things. I have a photo of my Dad's squad on their halftrack drinking bottles of wine they found somewhere. His Dad was in my Dad's Battalion, but in a different company. He was so taken back by the photo because drinking was forbidden, not to mention taking photos during hostilities. He pictured our Dads as white knights that didn't cuss, drink, fraternize, kill certain prisoners, etc. Well.. ;D
