WWII GERMAN TANK DESTROYER AWARD - SILVER
This is a WWII Silver Tank Destroyer award. Introduced on March 9th, 1942. It was established by Hitler to recognize the
destruction of a tank by a single soldier.
The soldier would usually employ an anti tank weapon such as bazooka, granade,
etc. The award was issued with a document.
The following picture shows the different components of the badge. The piece of wool is shorter than the length of the
ribbon. In other samples I have seen, the lengths of both pieces are identical.
This is the back portion of the badge.
This is the front portion of the badge. Very good detail is shown in the stamping.
This particular badge came taken apart. The story is that the GI who brought it back found it this way in a factory.
This badge is commonly reproduced.
