Key Components and Details
4-Year Long Service Medal (Luftwaffe): Awarded for four years of service in the German Air Force (Luftwaffe). It is typically a cornflower blue ribbon with a small, silver Luftwaffe eagle (with wings angled downwards/swept) placed on it. The medal itself is circular, often in a light-colored metal, with an eagle on the front and "4" in an oak leaf wreath on the back.
Entry into Austria Medal (Anschlussmedaille): A bronze medal with red and white ribbon, awarded to those who participated in the annexation of Austria in March 1938.
Parade Mount (Medal Bar): The two medals are mounted together on a metal bar, usually with a felt backing, intended to be worn on the left breast of a tunic during formal occasions.
