Each of the three branches of the Wehrmacht had its own series of combat badges, which allowed commanders to recognize the successful missions of officers, non-commissioned officers, and troops. The proficiency badges, on the other hand, served as proof of acquired military vocational training. In this second volume on the topic of "German Decorations," Volker A. Behr continues the documentation of the orders and decorations of the Wehrmacht. This time, he provides a detailed examination of the combat and proficiency badges of the Army and Navy during the years between 1937 and 1945.
