WWII German Photo – Highly Decorated Wehrmacht Soldiers EK1 EK2 Iron Cross + Wound & Assault Badges

Original WWII German Photo – Highly Decorated Wehrmacht Soldiers – EK1 EK2 Wound & Assault Badges – Stamp on Reverse

Excellent original WWII German military photograph showing three highly decorated Wehrmacht Heer soldiers posing together outdoors in uniform and visor caps. This is an especially interesting image for the insignia and medal collector, as all three men display multiple awards and decorations accumulated through military service.

Visible decorations appear to include examples of the Iron Cross 1st Class (EK1) and Iron Cross 2nd Class (EK2) ribbon, along with Wound Badges and combat/assault badges. One soldier also appears to wear the Hitler Jugend proficiency/performance badge, an interesting carryover from pre-military service. The combination of decorations makes this an excellent photograph for close study of period uniforms, awards, and insignia.

The three soldiers wear smart Heer uniforms with peaked visor caps, breast eagles, collar tabs, shoulder boards, belts, and their various decorations clearly visible. Rather than a formal studio portrait, the photograph captures the men standing casually together outdoors, giving it additional character as an original personal snapshot.

An especially unusual feature is found on the reverse: an original 12 Pfennig Deutsches Reich Adolf Hitler definitive postage stamp has been affixed directly to the back of the photograph. There is also faint period handwriting present. Whether the stamp was attached for postal purposes or simply placed there by the original owner is unknown, but it makes this a particularly interesting surviving wartime artifact.

The photograph measures approximately 9 x 6 cm (about 3.5 x 2.4 inches) based on the ruler shown.

This photograph shows genuine period wear, including creases, cracking, edge wear, small tears/losses, surface marks, and general age-related handling, particularly along the upper and side areas. Despite the wear, the main image and soldiers remain readily visible. Please study all photographs carefully for exact condition.

A strong original image for collectors of Wehrmacht combat veterans, German military awards, Iron Cross recipients, Heer uniforms, assault badges, wound badges, HJ-related insignia, wartime postage stamps, and original WWII German photography.

Original WWII-era photograph – not a modern reproduction. You will receive the exact photograph shown.
