Eastern People Bravery Decoration 2nd Class - Bronze grade, in bronzed zinc, otherwise in very fine condition.
The Decorations for Bravery and Merit of the "Eastern People" were founded on July 14th, 1942, to reward citizens from Soviet controlled countries such as Latvia, Lithuanian, Russia, and Estonia, who bravely served in German-sponsored military units. These individuals joined the German-sponsored units, as they wanted to help liberate their countries from Soviet rule.
The awards conferred for bravery featured crossed swords, while the decorations conferred for non-combat related meritorious services were issued without swords.
The I Class was worn as a breast star, while the II Class was worn suspended from a ribbon.
