Earnst Krause if my spelling and eyes are correct or not...

SS-Oberscharfuhrer Ernst Krause was the designer of the Winterschlacht im Osten medal

http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtop...?f=44&t=139277

This young artist and designer participated in the Polish, French, and Greek campaigns, and was subsequently ordered to produce paintings for SS installations. His most noteworthy product was the aforementioned painting which was given to Hitler as a gift by the LSSAH, and later hung in the great German Exhibition in Munich, 1942. The group portrait was applauded by the Fuhrer, who bestowed on Krause the honor of designing the Eastern Front Medal (Ostmedaille). He completed this task successfully and went on to produce numerous other works during the war.
