Description

Kriegsmarine U-Boat Clasp Bronze

The U-Boat War Badge was instituted on the 13th October 1939, by Admiral Erich Raeder and awarded to all ranks to all U-Boat personnel to recognise continued combat service and valour.  The award criteria were based on the U-boat commander’s recommendation and subject to approval by Admiral Donitz.

Later in the war, the U-Boat Clasp silver was introduced on the 24th November 1944 to recognise bronze holders’ continued merits and was worn on the upper left breast.
