This original three-place German ribbon bar reflects a soldier’s service spanning from World War I into the interwar and early Nazi periods. The ribbons represented are: Iron Cross 2nd Class (Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse)
Awarded for acts of bravery in the face of the enemy during World War I. Its black and white ribbon became one of the most recognized military decorations of Imperial Germany. Hindenburg Cross with Swords (Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer 1914–1918 mit Schwertern)
Established in 1934 by President Paul von Hindenburg, this cross honored veterans of frontline WW1 service. The crossed swords indicate the recipient engaged in combat. 1936 Olympic Games Commemorative Medal (Olympia-Ehrenzeichen 1936)
Issued to military personnel and civilians who contributed to the success of the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, a key propaganda event for the Nazi regime. The orange and white ribbon represents national service linked to the Games. The ribbon bar features a green wool reverse and period horizontal pinback. A well-preserved example highlighting the continuity of German military culture across two world wars and the politicization of service in the 1930s.
