    Does anyone recognise this award?

    What award are several soldiers in this line up wearing? Could it be a foreign award?

                He is also wearing the Golden party badge, so he must be an old SA-man or something. You could hold a high rank in some party organization, and at the same time be an ordinary private soldier of the Wehrmacht.

                  Maybe he messed up, and was sent to the russian front. Big dude anyway, looks like hes 6'6" tall.
