I originaly posted this on Marcus Wendels 3rd Reich forum, so for those who didn't get
to see first time around here it is again.
I also post this in memory of Ken as I knew he dearly wanted to add this badge to his
collection as well.
-----------------------------------
The Berlin Gau badge came in two grades Gold and Silver. Only around 30 Gold badges were
awarded to the founding Berlin Gau members. The only book I have seen so far that discusses
how many silver badges were awarded has been in Robin Lumsdens book "medals and Decorations of
Hitlers Germany", where he states 655 silver badges were awarded including 41 to women.
