German Army War Badges
In our Wehrmacht Heer Awards category, discover an exclusive selection of original Wehrmacht Heer awards and historical military orders from the Third Reich era (1933–1945). The Wehrmacht Heer awards encompass a wide range of honors for bravery, merits, and combat deployments, including the Infantry Assault Badge, the Wound Badge, the Iron Cross (in various classes), the War Merit Cross, as well as others like the Africa Cuff Title, the Spain Cross, and Long Service Awards. These decorations were instituted by Adolf Hitler and the Presidential Chancellery to honor soldiers of the German Army (Heer), reflecting the military hierarchy from basic badges to higher orders. Historically, hundreds of thousands were awarded by 1945, e.g., approx. 750,000 Infantry Assault Badges in Silver and 190,000 in Bronze. Variants include materials such as silver, bronze, or enamel, with or without swords, in grades (e.g., Gold for combat bravery, Silver for warfare merits) and special forms like cloth versions or bars to the Iron Cross of 1914. Our collection features rare pieces with ribbons, cases, or certificates, illustrating the evolution of Wehrmacht uniform traditions and ideal for collectors and historians.
