Naxos Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 [attachmentid=30522]Hello, just want to share my fathers badge. this one is his second issue that he wore from 1944 on. his first issued badge he send home during the war. I still have it as well, but after the war my father removed the swastika from it. I think this one escaped the same fate because the catch broke and he did not wear it after the war.My father:http://www.eagle19.freeserve.co.uk/huber.htmall the Best, Hardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Temple-West Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Many thanks for posting your Fathers? group, Hardy? An excellent piece of history! Would it be possible to post his denazified badge as it?s quite rare to see original badges direct from the veteran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Thank you,I will take some pics of it . A point on the finish of the badges: On the denazified badge the the gold color on the eagle is still intact. My father said that because they wore most of the time the Knochensack over their tunics and badges , the finish of the medals wore off.
