THE GERMAN ANTI-PARTISAN BADGE IN WORLD WAR II

Descrive i vari gradi del distintivo conferito ai soldati tedeschi per la lotta anti-partigiana con foto in bianco e nero e la riproduzione di documenti di conferimento.

During World War II nearly every Wehrmacht soldier outside of Germany came into contact, either directly or indirectly, with the nearly one-million partisans throughout Europe. Operations against these “bandits” usually fell outside the rules of war and those who fought saw image of incredible cruelty. Those German soldiers and police members who fought against the partisans were qualified to receive the anti-partisan badge. This concise book discusses the award’s three grades and includes rare documents and war-era photographs.
