  • remarks
    Only one badge in silver and only 182 in black were actually awarded to members of the Condor Legion. However, during WWII the Condor Legion style Wound Badge was still awarded next to the regular Wound Badge, which explains the high numbers found on the market today.

History


The Legion Condor Wound Badge was established on May 22, 1939, and was conferred upon German soldiers who voluntarily fought alongside Francisco Franco’s Nationalist forces during the Spanish Civil War.

The Badge is identical to the Wound Badges issued during the First World War, but they feature a swastika on the obverse.

The Badge was issued in three grades, gold, silver and black.

The Silver Badge was awarded to recognise three or more injuries, and it was only awarded once.
