WWII GERMAN TANK DESTROYER AWARD - GOLD


This is a WWII German Gold 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.

This is the highest tank destroyer award given. It is very hard to obtain.

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 picture shows the back portion of the badge.



This picture shows the front portion of the badge. Great detail in the stamping of the tank.




This badge is commonly reproduced.
