Description
English: Uniform badges etc of the Kriegsmarine, the navy branch of the combined military forces Wehrmacht) of Nazi Germany 1935–1945:

  • Kriegsmarine NCO's career/rating badges worn on upper left sleeve of all garments; trade insignia (German: Laufbahnabzeichen); sleeve insignia (Ärmelabzeichen), embroidered or metal anchors with career insigne on cloth patches, chevron indicating rank (Dienstgradabzeichen)
  • Machine embroidered German Navy eagle in yellow on a very dark blue backing, etc. The eagle-and-swastika, the emblem of the Nazi party (Parteiadler), became the only national symbol (Hoheitsabzeichen, Hoheitszeichen) in 1935; the national coat of arms featured an art deco style German imperial eagle (Reichsadler) clutching a wreathed swastika. The uniform coats/tunics of the Wehrmacht had the new national emblem in their version (Wehrmachtsadler, "armed forces eagle") as a "breast eagle" (Brustadler), a cloth insignia over the chest pocket on the right hand side. The German Navy (Kriegsmarine) wore this eagle in yellow/gold, the German Army (Heer) in white/silver.
  • Kriegsmarine admiral's car pennant, with a Kriegsmarine eagle embroidered with gold and dark brown threads on a dark blue background, and trimmed along the edges with gold tresse displaying swastikas. The pennant was taken as a trophy from the German Kommandant at Måløy during Operation Archery (the Måløy Raid), a British Combined Operations raid during World War II against German positions on the island of Vågsøy, Norway, on 27 December 1941.
