Hi Dave, I'm surprized with the color used on DDR uniforms...on my screen the backing cloth appears common soviet wave green, what uniform are you thinking of? I don't think I'm the best in DDR uniforms so bring me some little light!
the ribbon bar make me think to an officer who would have started his career in the 50', early enough to gather a captain or starchii leitenant in 1958 to be granted the jubilee medal. Then he earned the common jubilee and complete service med, the red star for military merit and the motherland 3rd class as a top of his career (colonel or general-maior?). He seems have closed his career before 1988 (motherland earned in the 80'?).
It is curious he doesn't have the veteran of vs medal, and he has the 20 years victory...
Doug, Dave, a participant to the WW2 was nearly always decerned the victory over germany med? if not could he merit 20 years later the 20 y jubilee med?
