The German Wound Badge of World War II Thomas Durante

The Most Comprehensive Book to date on the German Wound Badge of World War II. Volume III is actually the first completed book of a planned three volume set covering the immense topic that is the Wound Badge of Germany during the Third Reich era. This volume focuses primarily on the solid-back Silver and Gold Grade Wound Badges of the so-called "2nd Pattern" 1939 Version which were issued to wounded German soldiers during the majority of World War II between 1940 and 1945.

No unique die characteristic or reverse hardware setup change was too small, each has been categorized and examined in detail along with an explanation of what sets that variant apart from other examples. Dimensions have also been provided for each original example and each chapter ends with the most dangerous fakes that will be encountered and how to tell them apart from originals. A must-have book for any dedicated Wound Badge collector.
