    Winterschlacht Im Osten and Dietl

    Did Eduard Dietl ever recieve the Eastern Front Medal? Wikipedia claims he did, but provides no citation for it.

    Put it like this, his army qualified for it, or at least those units at or close to the front did. Dietl spent a lot of time within the area that qualified for the award even though i'm a little unsure his army headquarters at Rovaniemi was within the border set for the award, so i'd say he should certainly have received it.

      Since your specialty is units in northern Norway and Finland, what are some high ranking officers that recieved the Eastern Front Medal for serving there?

        Here are some with their jobs during the winter of 41\42

        Ferdinand Schörner, Kdr. 6 Geb.Div. and from Jan.42 Kdr. Geb.Korps Norwegen, taking over from Dietl

        Hermann Hölter, Ia XXXVI Geb Korps

        Ferdinand Jodl, Chef des generalstab Armee Lappland (and if he got it then Dietl did) the date of his award is 01.08.1942 so likely the same as Dietls

        Karl Weisenberger, Kdr. XXXVI Gebirgs Korps

        Erwin Engelbrecht, Kdr. 163 Inf.Div.

            Easter Front Medal Dietl

            I have a postcard of Dietl with his Knights cross with oakleaves and he is not wearing the ribbon

              Dietl rarely wore his ribbon bar and he seems never to have worn ribbons in his buttonhole, finding a photo of him post-1942 wearing his ribbon bar seems to be difficult.

              The best I can find at the moment is a very bad picture of his awards pillow, one of those round medal could well be an ostmedaille

              I've also added the ostmedaille award doc of Generalarzt Rudolf Lipf who was chief medical officer of Gebirgskorps Norwegen during the time.
