The subject of WWII German Medals & Insignia is too vast to
be covered in a few pages. We will showcase the basic
styles and variety of Medals, Iron Crosses, Cuff Titles, Breast Eagles,
Sleeve Eagles and Hat Insignia worn by the Germans during World War Two.
The first section will showcase
SS insignia.
You will see SS Sleeve Eagles, SS Hat Eagles, SS Cuff Tiles, and other
SS insignia. All the items in this section
were either donated to us or purchased by us directly from the U.S. WWII
Veteran that brought them back.
The second section will showcase items from our WWII German
Police
Insignia Collection. Sleeve Eagles and Hat Eagles will be shown.
Please visit the different sections showing WWII German Army
Insignia, Luftwaffe Insignia and Navy Insignia. Each section will showcase
Breast Eagles, Cuff Titles, Shoulder Boards, Collar Tabs, Hat Insignia and
various Sleeve Insignia.
The final section of WWII German Medals & Insignia will show a
general selection of German Medals. Probably one of the most recognized
medals in the world is the Iron Cross. We will show different examples of this
infamous award as well as a variety of combat and service medals. Unlike
the U.S. that has the Purple Heart Medal for all wounded soldiers, the Germans
had different grades of Wound Badges which represented different levels of
wounds, black for minor wounds, silver for serious wounds and gold for severe or
death.
