Germany, Wehrmacht. A Mint 25-Year Long Service Decoration consisting of a blue enamelled Romanian Cross with clusters of nine gilt rays in eac while the cape is secured

while the cape is secured during wear by a green wool strap on the left collar bearing a pebbled

but both times spent eight hours in the city

and by this time all kinds of bullets flying and all kinds of bonsais going on and kinds of yelling and people are getting killed and people are getting stuck and I'm fighting like hell and I'm sticking where ever I can and my recollection of that night is like surreal

the insignia and text on the shield immaculate
