Bandenkampfabzeichen bronze

[HERMSDORF]

Because there are a lot of Bandenkampfabzeichen Friends here, I decide to show you my untouched Ground Find in an very good Condition. It came up from an area where Units of SS Dirlewanger, SS Nederland, SS Prinz Eugen and some SS Polizei Division were present.

I usually don't like ground dug badges but this one is a beauty.

Hi Guys,
The true story is not very exciting. The Badge is a single find and was found years ago during gardening inside the small town south of Berlin. A find without Metal Detectors or else!
So in an around there were very heavy Fights in the end of April ´45. 10 days before Germany surrendered on 8th of May45. Thousand of People lost their life in that terrible Battle. In this well wooded area a lot of SS Units were Present like Dirlewanger, Nederland, Parts of Prinz Eugen, Polizei Division..
