Kriegsmarine Small Battle Group Sleeve Badge

SOLD

Code: 55366



The second of a small number of items relating to a little known arm of the Kriegsmarine, the Small Battle Units, or Kleinkampfverbande, is this extremely rare example of the sleeve Badge worn on the upper right arm by members of the unit.

Constructed in a machined embroidered golden thread this example features a single Sawfish on blue circular base and was worn by probationers whilst under training (Bewahrungsabzeichen)

In excellent condition

The K-Verbande were formed in April 1944 and although better known for their use of the range of Miget submarines, the Sprengboote formed an important addition and was active against allied shipping during the Normandy landings.

Items relating to this unit are extremely rare and this and the three other badges and leaflet I have listed are all from the same long standing collection
