Quality reproduction of Destroyer War Badge (German: Zerstörerkriegsabzeichen).It was a World War II German military decoration awarded to officers and crew for service on Kriegsmarine destroyers. It was instituted on 4 June 1940 by Grand Admiral Erich Raeder following the battle of Narvik.It consists of a vertical oval wreath of oak leaves with the national emblem of eagle with folded wings clutching a swastika at its apex. The central area features a side-view of a destroyer cutting through a wave . It was also awarded to the crews of torpedo boats and fast attack craft until the institution of the Fast Attack Craft War Badge. It was worn on the lower part of the left breast pocket of the naval service tunic, underneath the 1st class Iron Cross if awarded.
