Description: Varied group of five German Third Reich-era badges and insignia representing both combat and political categories. Included is an Auxiliary Cruiser War Badge in zinc with traces of original gilt finish and detailed naval motif; an Anti-Partisan War Badge in zinc featuring sword and serpent design; an Infantry Assault Badge of later manufacture displaying correct general form but determined to be a reproduction based on weight and construction characteristics; a Heer-style eagle shield with silvered eagle over dark field; and a tricolor shield badge with black, white, and red enamel fields. Instituted during the WWII period, these badges were awarded for naval commerce raiding service, anti-partisan operations, and infantry combat participation, while the shields represent political or uniform insignia. The grouping offers a representative cross-section of wartime German military and organizational insignia.
