German Awards - Navy SEAL 1941

The naval badge of the fleet was established by the Commander-in-Chief of the Kriegsmarine, Grand Admiral Raeder, on April 30, 1941. All officers and soldiers who fought against England on battleships or cruisers at sea could become borrowed. The dead soldiers could receive it posthumously. The award provisions suggested good command and a total of 12 weeks on a military trip. The provisions were repeatedly supplemented and, thus, on the anniversary of the occupation of Norway, the crews of many warships were awarded a badge or rescued crew members, among other Tirpitz, could subsequently claim this badge.
The design is by artist Adolf Bock. The number of awards is estimated at about 2500. The first badges were made of non-ferrous metal, later of fine zinc. A special form is the badge with diamonds, which was awarded unconfirmed 3 times.
