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 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.
