Militaria and WW2 history forum and topsites. Sõja ajaloo portaal.
I would like to share my latest addition to my collection.
This is an EKM from 2. Kompanie Grenadier-Ausbildungs-Bataillon (motorisiert) 90.
I missed out on a Volkssturm EKM, but I am happy to get this one.
Here a little more info on all the name changing of the unit:
Infanterie-Ersatz-Bataillon (motorisiert) 90
Infanterie-Ersatz-Bataillon 90
Infanterie-Ausbildungs-Bataillon (motorisiert) 90
Grenadier-Ersatz-Bataillon (motorisiert) 90
Grenadier-Ausbildungs-Bataillon (motorisiert) 90
Grenadier-Ersatz- und Ausbildungs-Bataillon (motorisiert) 90
Panzergrenadier-Ersatz- und Ausbildungs-Bataillon 90
The unit was only named Grenadier-Ausbildungs-Bataillon (motorisiert) 90 from 7 November 1942 - 7 April 1943.
Regards, Rik
You can see the differences compared to my Spanish made commemorative medal. The Spanish made medal has a large ball suspension ring, a different helmet with no decal impression and a stylized eagle and swastika, unlike the traditional German adler.
Here it is alongside a few more of my Blue Division medals and insignia
If you are interested in the Blue Division or Spanish civil war militaria check out my collection on this thread:
