I had a couple of questions on what certain items were. The item I circled in red, is it a Battle Shield? If so what battle? The item I circled in yellow, is this an oak leaf, and what do they signify? I tried to look up some answers but didn't find any information yet.

It looks to me as if about 20 officers dumped their uniforms and I.D. tags before being captured so they wouldn't stand out as officers and be interrogated as such. Thank you very much,

Steve

Thanks for the response Krichu. I understand the medal is from Koln, 1928. I found the left side of the German officer's oak leaf wreath yesterday, was easy to ID after seeing your post. HH, Mike
