KVK In Wear - All Services

[sylvieK4]

Does anyone have any photos of the KVK ribbon in wear by soldiers from any branch of service (Heer, Luftwaffe, KM, Waffen SS, etc.)?

I understand that the KVK ribbon was frequently worn in the tunic button hole, and sometimes on a ribbon bar. Which practice was more common?

By the way, this is a very nice forum. I just joined a few days ago, and am already enjoying the interesting posts from the veteran members.

Thanks, George, for that great photo! I haven't seen a KVK on an RAD uniform before.

Did most KVK recipients wear their ribbons in the button hole, or on a medal bar?

Once owned a uniform -- before I ditched all uniforms -- to a administrative hauptmann with KVK in buttonhole, on ribbon bar, and loops with KVK1 w/o swords.

Hi, Ed. Thanks for your response.

What are the "loops" you wrote about in your message? Do you have an illustration of this?

Hi sylvieK4,

Ed is refering to the loops that are stitched onto the tunic for the awards, so they can be worn, hope that makes it a bit clearer.
