Puzzling Ribbon Bar

[Tom Yanacek]

Another possibility, the unidentified ribbon is the Hanseatic Cross...seems more plausible that an old WW1 vet was "doing his part" on the wall? But, where is the Hindenberg cross which usually accompanies WW1 medal bars? hmm, interesting little fella.

Hello,

But the ribbon for the Hamburg Hanseatic Cross has white edges. Also a Hanseatic Cross would be placed before a Westwall, not after it. And, as you mentioned, there is no Hindenburg Cross ribbon so that negates the possibility of a Hanseatic Cross. I'm pretty certain this ribbon is for a foreign decoration.

Best regards,
Tom
