Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Fake cast reproduction/replica of WWII German Bandit-warfare Badge (Anti-Partisan Guerrilla Warfare Badge, German: Bandenkampfabzeichen), a Third Reich military decoration instituted in 1944.

foreignvolunteerlegion.com/: On 30 January 1944, Hitler instituted the "Bandenkampfabzeichen" (Bandit Battle Badge). The anti-partisan badge was officially designated as "Kampfabzeichen der Waffen-SS und Polizei." (...) The badge was awarded in three classes for recognition of bravery or special achievement. When worn, it was placed on the lower left breast below the First class, Iron Cross. The design of the badge was based on the insignia of the Silesian Freikorps of 1919. In addition, the anti-partisan badge had a very important SS symbolic and propaganda significance. The design constituted a wreath with a sword in the center. The handle has a sun wheel swastika, which represents the Nordic and auxiliary forces. The sword is plunged into five snakes reference to the vipers, which are found in Southern Europe (Northeast Italy, Southern Austria, on the Balkan Peninsula, and in Greece).
