Description
144 pages, 312 photos (badges in color)
This book covers the inception of antitank warfare on an individual basis in WWI and its evolution through the last desperate days of May 1945. Full colour obverse and reverse views are presented of issue and variant badges, to include embroidered and field-made styles. A fakes and reproductions chapter will help you detect bogus pieces. The method of wear is detailed for the wartime period as well as by recipients later in the Bundeswehr. Award documents plus Soldbuch/Wehrpass entries are studied. Recipients of the Hitler Youth, Volkssturm and Navy are also covered. Biographies and photos of 75 recipients help portray the heroism required to be awarded this badge.
This book concludes with an excellent overview of all the weapons both issues and make-shift, utilized by Germany’s “Tank Killers.”
