The ribbon of the medal looked like this: http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Orden/Bilder/b032.JPG A landsers slogan about the medal and its ribbon goes like that: ""In der Mitte die Straße, außen der Schnee, und um uns herum die Rote Armee." In the middle of the street, snow on the ...

My grand-grand-grandfather wrote them during ww1, and the pencil written text is hard to make out nowadays.

Just a guess from my side, the guy on the left looks like a navy member, and the gun
seems to be an italian AA gun in coastal defense position. I try to find a specification!

Great photos! Hope to see more!
