    EK Godet buttonhole and 6th buttonhole with question

    Moin,
    I was before 2 days the miliaria shop and have found two fine buttonhole.
    I see right in order of 6 buttonhole:
    Iron Cross 2nd class - Hanseatic Cross Bremen - Hanseatic Cross Hamburg - War Merit Cross Brunswick - Prussia Service Award ??? - Hanging FEK with swords
    I asked about the estate, no one is to get out of 6 buttonhole
    If the carrier is perhaps known?

    and buttonhole Godet with two non-combatants ribbon
    Is it in first class?

    Sorry for the bad pictures

      Interesting theory about the non-com ribbon but I think it was
      just done to look fancier. I do not believe that a person could
      be awarded a Ek1 for a non-combat action.

      It is a very mini.

      I don't think the 6 place mini is traceable as they are all common awards.

        Wow, I love the Godet non-combatant button.

        The button type is a later one, maybe from the 1930s. At that time, button makers were already beginning to mount the miniature awards directly on top of the ribbon bow (rather than dangling them as pendants below the bow).

        Anyway it's very nice

          Am I reading the card correctly, that this non-combatant EK2 was awarded for "work, etc., with POWs in Siberia"?

          What was a German doing working with POWs in Siberia?

            thx for your comments

            Yes, the man was the pow in Siberia.
            Interestingly, little card was a mourning postcard.
            Something died this man in Siberia

              Regarding the non-combat mini's owner: the German allows various interpretations: I think the "work" for those POWs in Siberia could have been done at home (perhaps via the Red Cross?).

              I might be wrong - just a thought.

              Regards
