Chris Boonzaier Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Hi,Thanks Bernd.How "official" was the badge? Could it be worn on state uniforms?BestChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Doesn't it show up in navy ranklists? I am certain I have seen photos of wehrmacht soldiers wearing them and certainly SA men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernd D Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 It was not an offical award! It was issued from the Kolonialkriegerbund, a privat organisation, for its members.But it was worn on medalbars and uniforms. Bernd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
