Summary edit

Description
English: WWII German General Assault Badge (German: Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen), a Third Reich military decoration awarded during World War II to personnel of the German Army, Waffen-SS and Ordnungspolizei (order police) who supported an infantry attack but were not part of specific infantry units and therefore did not qualify for the Infantry Assault Badge. It was instituted by General Walther von Brauchitsch on 1 June 1940.
