Panzerkampfabzeichen - Panzer Badge

The Silver Panzer Badge was introduced on December 20th of 1939 by the order of Generaloberst von Brauchitsch. It was to be awarded to drivers, radio operators, gunners and panzer commanders. The Bronze Panzer Badge was introduced by the order on June 1st of 1940. It was to be awarded to crews of armored fighting vehicles other than tanks. After June of 1943, the Silver and Bronze Panzer Badges were considered inadequate to represent long service with armored units engaged in longer battles.
