German Soldier in the Iron Cross Award Ceremony

A young German Heer (Army) soldier in the day he receive the Eisernes Kreuz II.Klasse (Iron Cross 2nd Class) medal. He already got the Verwundetenabzeichen (Wound Badge) and Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen (Infantry Assault Badge). He is wearing a model 1940/1941 field blouse. The collar is already made of field grey basecloth, but the breast pockets still have pleats and scalloped pocket flaps (The dark green collar was abolished in May 1940, the pleats in late 1941 and the scallops in 1943). The helmet looks like a rolled-rim M40.
