Genossen!
I am looking to put a suitable ribbon bar onto my Major of the Grenztruppen uniform... I have found a source for such items but am in need of some guidance with an appropriate medal selection.
I am not wanting anything heroic, just time served medals appropriate to the rank.
Its taken me years to get a grip with Soviet medal structure but DDR leaves me baffled!
I have been suggested maybe in general terms will include 2 to 4 True Service ribbons, 2 Meritorious Service ribbons, 1 or 2 Waffenbruederschaft ribbons, and possibly a 30 Year or 40 Year ribbon or equivalent. These are all standard decorations.
Any other advice from you lot who seem to know tons about DDR medals!
