I'm trying to identify his medals, looks like a 'Wound Badge' and a 'General Assault Badge(silver)'. The red ribbon (I'm taking a bit of a stab) to say it's a Campaign ribbon (Russia?). The insignia on the left arm means 'Kreigsmarine Engineer' (I think). The Aiguillette is also a decoration of some kind, but I'm at a loss on that one. Also, he was a First Lieutenant. *Edit* oops, how could I forget, an Iron Cross (not sure of the class).

Nice man, really accurate. I actually have the documentation on the way for the medals. His stories are truely amazing. I have so much respect for him and everyone that has served.
I'll get some better pics of the medals and post them up later.
