WWII GERMAN BADGE - ARMY INFANTRY ASSAULT -

The Infantry Assault badge was instituted on December 20th 1939 following the orders of Von Brauchitsch. It was designed by the company C.E. Junker in Berlin and it was produced in silver and bronze. The bronze badge was issued to soldiers belonging to the motorized infantry (June 1940).
The main purpose for this award was to reward troops who excelled in combat. The criteria for the award was as follows:

The soldier must participate in a minimum of three attacks.

Engage in hand to hand combat.

Participate in armed reconnaissance missions.

The award was normally issued by the regimental commander and was worn on the lower left portion of the tunic. Several manufacturers produced this badge and it was distributed in large quantities, making it one of the most common and readily available awards of the Third Reich. However, this has not proven to be a deterrent to the makers of reproductions. There are a lot of fakes out in the market.

The example displayed above is of a bronze Infantry Assault badge. The hook at the bottom of the badge has been broken.
