More digging in the woods.
This a standard German army
buckle, made of aluminium.
"God with us" is written on the
face, intended to convince their
wearer that God was on their side.
Maybe instead it should have
asked if they were on God's side.
The other item is German too, a medal for
the 1941-42 winter campaign in the East.
That winter was one of the coldest in 20th
century. German soldiers gave the medal
an ironic nickname: "Gefrierfleischorden"
- the frozen meat medal.

Hands Up! Finally, there is something for a lady in the woods. Cool six-shooter.
Along with some other items revolver goes in a war museum. I really
like it and I would leave it for myself, but storing fire-arms is not
legal in Ukraine and I have only two choices, either gun goes in museum
or I go in jail. We're on the middle of summer, so I'd better bring gun in museum.
