    Hi Otto,

    As always, a photo is worth a thousand words but it sounds as if you are talking about the Frontreif badge which has nothing to do with the east coast of the US (a new story for me) but is supposed to have been worn by the crews commissioning U-boats, frontreif meaning "front ready" I believe.

    The design of the badge is based upon that shown painted on a conning tower in an original photo. The badge is not an official award and from what I understand at best a private issue. I have never been convinced by these and do not have one in my collection but know others who do like them.

    Would be interested to hear the other guys opinion on this though.

    Actually just found there are of other related thread, do a search for frontreif
