8629 : German Army Tank Destruction award

1942 – 1945

Nazi German Army Tank Destruction award, awarded for the single handed destruction of an enemy tank by use of hand held weapons such as a hand grenade, panzerfaust, satchel charge, etc, instituted on 9 March 1942. (Note: I bought this badge from a WW2 veteran, who brought a number of badges back after the war, but his collection was added to by friends and family, and I cannot guarentee that this badge is an original. Most of the badges I bought from him were originals, but some I cannot be sure on)
