    Not too many

    Didnt the DRL sports badge come out with a version without the Swastika?

    as for other badges, well none spring to mind straight away but surely there were?

    Weren't there some awards for Mountain troops featuring the Eidelwiess but there was no swastika? The are one of my favorite badges but alas well out of my price range!

    Plenty of de nazified awards to be found post '45

      Horseman, driver, and tank destruction badge. The first model DRA and DRL had no swastika. Those are what come to mind at the moment. Also, the 4 year SS service medal has SS runes, but no swastika.

                Some arm shields like "Lappland" and cuff titles like "Kreta", "Afrika", "Metz" and "Kurland". What else?

                  Sniper badges, the majority of Luftwaffe clasps, Vehicle drivers badge, obviously some of the foreign badges.

                  Then there is the obvious cufftittles, Long service awards, and other ribbons.

                  These are the ones I can piece together thus far. I don't recall which ones were mentioned.

                    On Luftwaffe clasps, isn't there a small swastika on the bottom of the wreath? The WW1 Commemorative Medal for WW1 Veterans issued by the Nazis in 1937, the often called "Hindenburg Medal" also had NO swastika.

                      Gah...you're right. I didn't remember it on the day fighter clasps....especially since I don't get too involved into the pilots stuff. Hitler is worse than my dog at marking his territory....I suppose thats one of the side effects of being an egomaniac??
