Medal bar for three awards Third Reich. Medal Bar with Three Awards. Third Reich

Ribbon bar for three awards from the Third Reich period, comprising ribbons of the Iron Cross 2nd Class model of 1914, the Hindenburg Cross of Honor (Ehrenkreuz des Weltkrieges), and the Cross for Long Service in the Fire Service (Feuerwehr-Ehrenzeichen).

The Iron Cross 2nd Class was a combat award for personal bravery and service during World War I. The Hindenburg Cross of Honor was established in 1934 to honor veterans of the 1914–1918 war. The Fire Service Cross attests to the wearer’s service in either the volunteer or professional fire brigade.

The ribbon bar is executed in traditional German style on a metal backing and reflects the typical award arrangement of a World War I veteran who continued service in fire brigade units during the interwar period and the years of the Third Reich.
