Eric K. Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hey everyone, this may seem like a silly question, and I'm sure I'll have a ton of follow up questions. Since the Deutschland/Lützow technically wasn't a battleship or a destroyer what badge did the crew wear? High Seas Fleet badge? Also what would the Imperial equivalent of a HSF Badge be?

J Temple-West Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hi, Eric The Deutschland/Lützow was classed as a cruiser (later as heavy cruiser), so members of the crew would have been entitled to the the High Seas Fleet badge, as from its institution on 30th April 1941, under the following criteria. Those authorized to receive the High Seas Fleet badge are crew members of battleships and cruisers, or those who are connected with the the High Seas Fleet and who have served a period of 12 weeks at sea.

Eric K. Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Thanks John, I always heard the ship referred to as a pocket battleship so I was curious to what badge would be worn.....Guess I need to get myself a HSF badge now. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
