A ribbon with a cross is laid around the older man's neck

Before the flags and the dark wreaths of greenery, a young man in uniform stretches out his arms and lays a ribbon around the neck of a grey-haired man with spectacles and a dark coat; a soldier in a steel helmet stands behind them, and in the foreground a man in uniform with an eagle on his sleeve looks on. A cross worn at the neck, in the source's account the highest award of the day, points to the Knight's Cross of the War Merit Cross, granted from 1940 to engineers, managers and armament workers.
