Medal ribbon bar of Standartenführer Otto Kumm

[perico72]

Hello,

I´m looking for the awards of Otto Kumm, especially his ribbon bar. I've seen a colour picture of him with his ribbon bar and is clearly visible the second Class Cross of iron, the Ost Front Medal, the SS long Service with gold?? runes, and the two last i don't know. Does Anybody information of this two awards?. Also, I believe he wear his ribbon bar at "bavarian style", is that correct?. Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much Thierry. Four days ago, I've found the last two medals: The Austrian anexion medal and the Entry in Sudetenland medal without castle (I believe). With your post, I have the information I needed. I'm modelling a 200 mm bust of Otto Kumm and I need the most true information for the correct painting and modelling of this piece. It has many mistakes (colours of ribbon bar, location of Iron Cross...) as you can see
