The German Eastern Front Medal, also known as the Ostmedaille or the "Frozen Meat Medal," was awarded to German personnel who served on the Eastern Front between November 1941 and April 1942. This reproduction medal features the iconic ribbon design, symbolizing the service and sacrifices of soldiers during the harsh winter campaign.

Key Features

  • Features a black line, outlined in white, running down the center of a red background, symbolizing the fierce battles and conditions of the Eastern Front.

  • Also known as the Frozen Meat Medal (Gefrierfleischorden)

  • Instituted in May 1942 to recognize the service and hardships endured by German soldiers on the Eastern Front.

Description

Known somewhat grimly as the Frozen Meat Medal (Gefrierfleischorden) due to the severe cold and frostbite that plagued soldiers, the Ostmedaille holds a unique place in WWII history. The accompanying ribbon features a striking design: a black line running down the center, bordered by white, set against a red background. This design is rich in symbolism, with the black representing the death and struggle faced by the troops, the white symbolizing the snow, and the red standing for the bloodshed on the Eastern Front.

This faithful reproduction is an excellent addition to any WWII collection or reenactment kit, capturing the essence of one of the most challenging fronts of the war
