A group of officers most of whom display the ribbon of the Iron Cross in the appropriate manner on the second button of their tunic and then tucked behind the material. It is interesting to note the character 2nd left in the middle row with the lighter moustache wears the ‘Litewka’ jacket, commonly associated with the Landwehr or Landsturm; and as an officers ‘undress’ tunic. It was also used by motor troops. Litewka is the Polish word for a Lithuanian.
