Blockade Breaker Badge

[Norm F]

Hi Norm,

My thoughts exactly. That is why my 2006 discussion thread (linked in post #10) was titled, Deumer Blockade Runner Badge?

Best regards,

Great stuff, Tom! What other things do you have locked away there?

Best regards,

Tom, thanks for posting the catch. Again, I appreciate the great information that you fellows have shared.

Hi Guys,

I just noticed from Tom Durante's posting in the Luftwaffe section that Deumer was known to use the oval base plate for the hinge...another clue towards Deumer.

So now for the Blockade Breaker we have a Lüdenscheid obverse design, a main pin like on Deumer's other KM badges, a catch like on Deumer's EK1 and a base plate like Deumer's ROAG. Personally, I'm satisfied with the Deumer attribution.

Tom Y. had this figured out in 2006. Hopefully we don't forget over the next 6 years!

Best regards,
---Norm
