Description
The German Anti-Partisan Badge in World War II by Rolf Michaelis During World War II, the Wehrmacht faced a significant challenge in combating the nearly one-million partisans operating throughout Europe. The operations against these "bandits" often fell outside the rules of war, resulting in images of incredible cruelty. In response, German soldiers and police members who fought against the partisans were qualified to receive the anti-partisan badge. This concise book provides an in-depth look at the award's three grades, featuring rare documents and war-era photographs. By examining the badge's history and significance, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the complex and often brutal conflict that took place during this period.
