Fast Attack Craft War Badge

E-Boat War Badge ( _de. Das Schnellbootkriegsabzeichen) is a German military decoration awarded to Kriegsmarine members for service on fast attack crafts or torpedo boats (worn on the lower part of the left breast pocket of the naval service tunic, underneath the 1st class Iron Cross if awarded, or equivalent grade award). Required qualifications included a very highly successful sortie, wounds in action, 12 sorties against enemy vessels or installations or outstanding leadership. The Badge was made in two distinct versions. The first was instituted on May 30, 1941, the second was introduced in January of 1943. Both designed by Wilhelm Ernst Peekhaus of Berlin. A third exclusive version with nine diamonds, which replace the solid bars of the swastika at the top, also exists, but only eight are known to have been awarded. The criteria for this award are 1. To engage in 12 engagements against the enemy. 2. In a particularly successful mission or killed in action. 3. Special circumstances of being wounded or survied being sunk by the enemy. 4. To have performed a heroic action in which no other award was given.
