Is this ribbon bar combination possible?

[Klaus O.]

Dear fellow collectors,

I would like to know if this combination of medals was possible for a junior officer (Leutnant-Hauptmann) of the 98th regiment Gebirgsjäger, who fought in Russia and also in Yugoslavia against the partisans.

I am trying to put together a ribbon bar for a historical impression (re-enactment) as Gebirgsjäger.

Ciao,

Claudio

Hi Claudio,

I think it is possible, but put swords on the Zwonimir.
No EK? Or is it in the buttonhole?

Best regards

Daniel

I agree with Daniel. Claudio. In normal wear, either the EK2 ribbon would be on the ribbon bar with the Ostmedaille, or BOTH of those would be in the buttonhole together and so the ribbon bar would start with the 4 Years Medal.

A tiny point, but if you don't get it right, you will be caught as a spy and...

Thank you both Daniel and Rick,

Actually I wanted to put the IC 2nd at the 2nd buttonhole at the front of the tunic. I saw in period pictures that usually German soldiers were often wearing the IC at the buttonhole and also on the ribbon bar. I will correct that. I will also the swords on the last ribbon of the Zvonimir's order... I just didn't have a picture attachment to show it correctly.

Ciao,

Claudio

P.S.: I hope with that that I won't be caught as a spy... I will have to make some improvements with my German, because although I speak it fluently you can tell that I have an Italian accent... I can always say that I am coming from Südtirol...
