German Eastern Front Medal (Winterschlacht im Osten 1941/42) with Ribbon

Description: This original German Eastern Front Medal, also known as the “Russian Front Medal,” was awarded to German soldiers who participated in the brutal winter campaign against the Soviet Union during the winter of 1941-1942. The front of the medal prominently features a German eagle clutching a swastika, symbolizing the Nazi regime’s military authority. The reverse side is inscribed with “Winterschlacht Im Osten 1941/42,” translating to “Winter Battle in the East 1941/42.” Below the inscription is a crossed sword and branch, representing both the harsh winter conditions and the relentless conflict on the Eastern Front. **The Ring of the planchet is broken as pictured.**

This medal is attached to its original ribbon, featuring the red, white, and black colors that were symbolic of Nazi Germany. The Eastern Front campaign, marked by extreme cold, inadequate supplies, and fierce Soviet resistance, was one of the most challenging and deadly theaters of World War II. This medal was awarded to those who endured these severe hardships, serving as a stark reminder of the immense cost of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union.
