Key Features

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
