Question on Romanian Crusade Against Communism Medal

[usmedalman]

I have a Fallschirmjaeger ribbon bar, 1957 style, with a ribbon for the Romanian Crusade Against Communism medal. Can anyone help me with which Fallschirmjaeger units may have had personnel who were authorized this medal.

As a side note; is this a common award to find for German soldiers who fought on the Russian front in Romania?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi John,

Many Germans received this medal. Do you have a photo of the ribbon bar? Would be great to see it!

Close up of the ribbon bar on tunic to LTC Reibold. Tunic is KKB maker from early 1960s.

I would love to know more about this guy.

That's a very nice ribbon bar. If you can be certain the ribbon bar is original to the tunic and therefore belonged to Reibold then you should be able to find the right guy and his units by maybe moving this topic to the Individual Research Forum. Hopefully members who frequent there will yield good results for you.

Best of luck,
