Kriegsmarine trade badges

[jeeplover]

I have good material on the Luftwaffe and the wehrmacht as far as different trade badges to look for. can not seem to find nothing on the Kriegsmarine trade badges as far as I have seen there seem to be very many but no check list. do you guys know of one or does anyone have a set up of one I could use to go off of as I try to pot together a trade badge display? any help would be nice thank you

Make a simple Excel sheet as a checklist, as it gets really hard to review all of them you already have and the ones you still miss, after some time.

Here is mine, for trade and specialty patches.
Top to bottom:
- Blue ones (three versions: Matrose, Maat, Obermaat)
- White ones (three versions)
- Metal ones
- Blue specialty (all versions)
- White specialty (all versions)

Photos can be found everywhere, so just copy/paste them in the sheet, resize and use /Picture tools>Bring to front/ to be able to place it as you wish over the table.

very nice . you might as well be telling me to make a rocket I know nothing about computers but how to type . that is why I was looking for a already made list. I have (German Army Uniforms and Insignia, 1933-1945 ) (Uniforms and Insignia of the Luftwaffe: Volume 1-2: 1933-1940 1940 -1945)
(Badges and Insignia of the Third Reich 1933-1945) all by Brian Leigh Davis
the first two books mentioned show the trade badges for the Luftwaffe and army. so I guess there is nothing out there for kriegsmarine?

Just color the ones you have along the road...

Happy collecting them all!

thank you that is what I was looking for. think I downloaded it 3 or 4 times as I said I am computer illiterate . the spaces that are white are those missing badges ?

[amiklic1]

No, white spaces are just without photos.
Increase the size if the document (+/- option on the lower right on Excel 2007)
and put a cursor inside the cell, but outside the photo, than choose color.

Here is a simple explanation:

And here is a detailed view of how to do it with the cell color.
If you click on the photo than you are selecting photo, so it's important to click outside the photo but inside the cell you want to change.
If you increase the size, it's easier.

If a thread does not exist already perhaps it would be nice to start a new thread in the KM uniforms forum that shows photographs of these trade badges in wear ?

Just a thought.

Regards,Martin.
