Kriegsmarine Late war navy land combat unit awards ?

[Grant Broadhurst]

Hello All,

Regarding the late war land units made up of Navy men , i know they could have been eligible for the tank destruction strip but could they also qualify for the Inf assault , gen assault and CCC ?

Thanks

Grant

Grant,

The short answer is Yes. Whatever the original branch of service, if the individual carried out the requisite number of assaults/combat days, whatever, he would qualify, so KM troops could and did qualify for the Infantry Assault Badge, General Assault Badge etc etc.
