Nazi Panzer Badge and Eastern Front Medal
Nazi Panzer Badge and Eastern Front Medal. The Panzer Badge was awarded to Panzer personnel in recognizing their achievements in armored assault. This badge would later be awarded to armored vehicle personnel as well instead of just tanks, but this version would have a bronze like finish. The original Panzer badge would have a silver like finish. This badge has most of the original finish gone and the pin and pin hook are gone. There are some scratches and a white splotch on the back of the badge. Fair condition. The Eastern Front Medal was awarded to German servicemen for fighting on the Eastern Front during the winter campaign period of November 15, 1941 to April 15, 1942. This winter campaign was grueling for the German forces fighting there as they were unprepared for the cold, long Russian winter. This medal has the Nazi eagle and swastika displayed on the front with a helmet and grenade above it. The back says “Winterschlact Mosten, 1941/42” above a crossed sword and branch. This medal features heavy discoloration on the back and on the grenade in the front. Front has some slight finish wear. Fair condition.
