Description

An extremely well preserved Kriegsmarine “Kleinkampfverband der Kriegsmarine” (Small Battle Unit) Bewährungsabzeichen/Proficiency Badge; in golden-yellow machine embroidery depicting a sawfish; on a dark navy wool backer; measuring 68 mm in diameter; near mint condition.

Footnote: The K-Verband was a Kriegsmarine Unit that operated midget submarines and explosive speedboats that operated between April 1944 and April 1945. The midget submarines were usually one to two-man submarines, while the explosive speed boats were operated in units of three with two boats carrying 660-800 lbs of explosives, and a third tasked with remotely controlling them during their final attack run. The proficiency badge was awarded to voluntary military personnel, independent K-Verband units, or military personnel ordered to participate in special missions.
