I asked earlier in this thread how many were actually produced. From what I can research, it looks as if 23 actual badges of various grades were awarded. However, discounting originals lost to time, there seems to be many more than 23"origionals" still floating around. Any thoughts?

Dr. Kiletmann: app 100 were strike. All have 800. Existed in either L/12 or 2.
W C Stump( real one): he said in 2004 that 100 x 800/2 by CE Junker and unknown no. of 800 L/12.
Angolia: 100 badges by C E Junker.

Fegelein? Alive

Isn't that man wearing an SS tunic with sleeve eagle removed? Also July Wound badge and anti partisan badge? I thought Fegelein was executed prior to bunker being taken?

That is Vice-Admiral Voss.

[Jmondo]

Wasn't Voss awarded the badge in all three classes? Any idea what happened to them?

A reliable source told me these 5 black wound badges are the ones stored in the Red Army Museum in Moscow.

Captured after 1945 and in Russian hands since then.
