Re: Identification hat.
looks like a Cossack visor cap, but if given that case, must be post-Soviet.

Re: Identification hat.
White for white Russia?
Anyone else notice that this Cossack was decorated by the Nazis?

Re: Identification hat.
I think it would be difficult to find a more appropriate photograph to display the complicated history of the Cossacks. Does anyone know what the first Medal is?

Re: Identification hat.
The second medal from the left is the "Ostvölkermedaille". It was awarded for people of the slavic peoples who helped german troops e.g. in fighting partisan groups.
Wikipedia says: "The Ostvolk Medal (German: Tapferkeits- und Verdienst Auszeichnung für Ostvölker) was a military award in Nazi Germany, bestowed to the personnel from the former Soviet Union (Ostvolk in German, literally 'the East people'). The award was designed by Elmar Lang and existed in two classes: 1st, in gold or silver, and 2nd (gold, silver or bronze). There were two versions: with swords, for bravery, and without, for merit. The medal represented an octactinal star with plant pattern in the centre. The 1st class was 48 mm in diameter, attachable to the cloth by pin. The 2nd class had 40 mm in diameter and was worn on a 32 mm wide ribbon. In December, 1943 seventeen workers from Zhytomyr (including one woman) were awarded with bronze stars for "saving a valuable property from Bolsheviks".[ |
