- bulgarian pilot or observer badge

Hello.

This is a post war photo (note the 1945 date on the Iron Cross and non Third Reich naval caps).

Because of the range of medals I would say it is a collection or representation of a crew of a ship or other unit.

Nice photo.

Chris.

This is just my opinion,
This photograph appears to be of a postwar reburial held by the German Navy.
The Ordenskissen (Orders Pillow) This a traditional touch at German Military funerals whereby the person’s personal decorations and medals were displayed on a black pillow for all to see.
