WWII GERMAN BADGE - GROUND ASSAULT


This is a WWII German ground assault badge. It was issued as a sign of recognition for action in the front ground. The badge was authorized on March 31st 1942.

The badge was awarded tomembers of the Air Force for being engaged in combat for a minimum of 3 days. A document was given with the award. The badge was worn on the left breast (similar to the wound badge).



This is a two piece construction badge. The eagle is attached to the body via use of a pin, which is visible in the reverse photo.



These types of badges are heavily reproduced. Special attention should be payed to the manufacturing details to be able to detect a fake. The type of pin, its shape, hinging mechanism and other factors are part of the elements that need to be reviewed.
