Hello
Your medal are not official military medal but Ullr
These were carried by the gebirgstruppen (yours are apparently original but your first medal ribbon is not for this)
This word is the diminutive of “Sankt Ulrich” protective saint of the mountaineers
They are medals brass or aluminium made which carried originaly image of saint Ulrich
Then these medals became commemorative of mountains demonstrations or performances
There were purely civil other military
This latest were sold in the regimental home and their carriage was semi official.
They are always carried hung to the trousers, with small strap, near of the small pocket for the watch.
So there are very few pics showing them !!!!
You can see one below with my signature (GJR 98 Russland commemorative)
Regards

Neither have anything to do with the SS.

The Eismeer front one relates to the XIX Gebirgs Korps, during 42\43 it consisted of the 2, 6 Geb.Div. and 210 Inf.Div. (that's the 6 Heer not 6 SS)
