Description
Here is your chance to pick up a rare example of a tank destruction badge in silver. Tank emblem retains most of it’s original finish and looks absolutely fantastic on display with great patina. Staple holes on each side of the flatwire, likely from a previous collector or veteran display. Black wool backing so likely a panzer issued example. An example that photos can’t do justice. The Tank Destruction Badge German military decoration awarded to individuals of the Wehrmacht who had single-handedly destroyed an enemy tank or an armored combat vehicle using a hand-held weapon. Anti-tank units were ineligible for this award. It was established on 9 March 1942, but could be awarded for actions dating back to 22 June 1941, the start of Operation Barbarossa. Prior to the introduction of this award, the soldier would be awarded the General Assault Badge for the action.
