Gildwiller1918 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 The medals look like US made ones from WW2 era, construction wise anyways. I know that Germany produced ribbons and medals for the US troops after the war. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 From what I read about this flood, the storm was the culprit, cyclones in that part of Europe are quite rare. For as many homes were destroyed it was lucky the death toll was not as high. I deal with similar storms on a constant basis on the US east coast. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
