SOLD SOLD (04/07) A Collection Of 9 Original WW2 Era Nazi German Kriegsmarine Award Badges Liberated By A WW2 Prison Guard In France From Kriegsmarine Crew Prisoners Of War During Their Internment Period Mounted On A Bakelite Display Shield. Sn 22708 - 22708
This is a rare to find collection of 9 original WW2 Era Nazi German Kriegsmarine Award Badges Reputedly liberated By A WW2 Prison Guard in France from Kriegsmarine Crew POW’s during their internment most likely swopped for chocolate or cigarettes. The Metal badges are all in very good condition some with original silvering and gilt remaining and no damage. The badges are period mounted on a brown Bakelite display shield (most likely by the guard who liberated them). Each badge is secured to the shield by copper pins and screws. To achieve this the lug mounts / pins on the rear of each badge have been removed in the mounting process which reflects the price of this collection. To avoid damage we have not attempted to remove any of the badges from the shield to examine for maker or date marks. The badges from top left to right consist of : 1. The Kriegsmarine High Seas Fleet War Badge (German: Das Flottenkriegsabzeichen), was awarded for service to the crews of the Kriegsmarine High Seas Fleet, mainly of the battleships and cruisers, but also those ships that supported them operationally for which there was no other award given. Although the award was instituted in April 1941, it could be awarded for actions that took place prior to this date. It was "primarily in recognition of the sea struggle" against the British fleet. 2. The Kriegsmarine Fast Attack Craft War Badge or S-Boat War Badge (German: Schnellbootkriegsabzeichen) was awarded to members of the Kriegsmarine for service on fast attack craft or patrol / torpedo boats. The award was instituted on 30 May 1941. Requirements to receive the award included: an outstandingly successful sortie, wounded in action, 12 sorties against enemy vessels or installations, or outstanding leadership. 3. As number 1 Kriegsmarine High Seas Fleet War Badge. 4. The Kriegsmarine Minesweeper War Badge or Minesweepers, Sub-Chasers and Escort-Vessel War Badge (German: Kriegsabzeichen für Minensuch-, U-Boot-Jagd- und Sicherungsverbände) was awarded to Kriegsmarine members for service on minesweepers vessels. The award was instituted on 31 August 1940. 5. The Kriegsmarine U-boat War Badge was originally instituted during the First World War on February 1, 1918. It was awarded to recognize U-boat crews who had completed three war patrols. On October 13, 1939, the U-boat War Badge was reinstituted. It was very similar to the original badge with the exception of the imperial crown being replaced with a German Eagle above a swastika, and a more modernized submarine now facing towards the left was used. This is the Nazi WW2 example. 6. The Auxiliary Cruiser War Badge (German: Kriegsabzeichen für Hilfskreuzer) was awarded to officers and men of the Kriegsmarine for service on Auxiliary Cruisers or the supply ships that supported them for a successful large voyage. The award was instituted on 24 April 1941. 7. The Destroyer War Badge (German: Zerstörerkriegsabzeichen) was awarded to officers and crew for service on Kriegsmarine destroyers. It was instituted on 4 June 1940 following the battle of Narvik. It was also awarded to the crews of torpedo boats and fast attack craft. 8. The Kriegsmarine Naval Artillery War Badge / Coastal Artillery War Badge (German: Kriegsabzeichen für die Marineartillerie) was awarded to the crews of Kriegsmarine land-based marine artillery and anti-aircraft units. It was presented to personnel of coastal defence units, and anti-aircraft units. The award was instituted on 24 June 1941 to reward the actions of both individuals and crew members. It was also awarded to those killed in action in those units. 9. The Kriegsmarine Blockade Runner Badge (German: Abzeichen für Blockadebrecher) was a World War II German military decoration awarded for service on warships or merchant vessels that attempted to break through the British Blockade of Germany (1939–1945).

Original Nazi Waffen-SS Eastern Youth Volunteer Arm Insignia. N 149. - N 149
Arm insignia, such as the example offered, were worn by SS-Helfer units, comprised of youth volunteers from the Soviet Union. Most of these personnel served as flak crew. During World War II, the Waffen-SS recruited or conscripted significant numbers of non-Germans. Of a peak strength of 950,000 in 1944, the Waffen-SS consisted of some 400,000 “Reich Germans” and 310,000 ethnic Germans from outside Germany’s pre-1939 borders (mostly from German-occupied Europe), the remaining 240,000 being non-Germans. Thus, at their numerical peak, non-Germans comprised 25% of all Waffen-SS troops. The units were under the control of the SS Führungshauptamt (SS Command Main Office) led by Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler. Upon mobilisation, the units' tactical control was given to the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (High Command of the Armed Forces). Measuring; 8cm x 6 ½ cm and made from cotton, the badge is in very good order. The price includes UK delivery. N 149. (Small flag/armband box)
