Naval War Badges

What We Offer in the Kriegsmarine Awards Category:
In our Kriegsmarine Awards category, discover an exclusive selection of original Kriegsmarine awards and historical military orders from the Third Reich era (1933–1945). The Kriegsmarine awards encompass a wide range of honors for bravery, merits, and combat deployments in the navy, including the U-Boat War Badge, the Destroyer War Badge, the Minesweeper War Badge, the Blockade Runner War Badge, the Coastal Artillery War Badge, the High Seas Fleet War Badge, the Auxiliary Cruiser War Badge, the E-Boat War Badge, the Iron Cross (in various classes), as well as others like the Naval Front Clasp and Long Service Awards. These decorations were instituted by Adolf Hitler and the Presidential Chancellery to honor U-boat crews, destroyer personnel, minesweepers, and other naval units of the German Kriegsmarine, reflecting the military hierarchy from basic badges to higher orders. Historically, thousands were awarded by 1945, e.g., approx. 5,000 U-Boat War Badges and 1,500 Destroyer War Badges. Variants include materials such as silver, zinc, or enamel, with or without swords, in grades (e.g., Gold for combat bravery) and special forms like cloth versions or diamond-set specimens for exceptional merits. Our collection features rare pieces with ribbons, cases, or certificates, illustrating the evolution of Kriegsmarine uniform traditions and ideal for collectors and historians.
