Send the souvenir back to Germany, it doesn't belong to you.

1. Did you miss the part where the man in the story was likely forever scarred by the horrors of war and has way more insight into the situation than you do based on his experiences - I mean the medals are neat and all, but I can't imagine carrying the burden of knowing I killed many men around with me for decades - let alone the knowledge that it was celebrated.
2. Send it back to who? Find someone in the German Navy and say - hey remember when that horrible regime came into power, conscripted you and forever left a black mark on your nations history... oh you do... while here's a button from them. Sorry but what a stupid comment. It isn't as though he stole artwork or jewellery... he took a f'n button.
