Tank Memorial Badge
The Tank Memorial Badge (German: ''Kampfwagen-Erinnerungsabzeichen'') was a military decoration of the Weimar Republic awarded to former tank crewmen who fought in World War I.
Officially known as ''Memorial Badge for former German tank crews'' (German: ''Erinnerungsabzeichen für die ehemaligen Besatzungen deutscher Kampfwagen'') it was usually referred to as ''Tank Memorial Badge'' or simply ''Tank Badge'' (''Kampfwagenabzeichen)''. Draft cards oft this era show that it was sometimes written as ''Tank-Abzeichen''.
== History and criteria ==
The Tank Badge was instituted by the Minister of Defence Otto Gessler on 13 Jul 1921 and laid down in the ''Heeres-Verordnungsblatt Nr. 41'' of 15 July 1921.〔Higgins, p. 31〕〔''Heeres-Verordnungsblatt. 3. Jahrgang, Berlin den 15. Juli 1921, Nr. 41'', S. 299–300, $ 460.〕 It was to be issued to veterans of World War I who qualified by: being a crewman (commander, driver, gunner, loader, mechanic, signaller or messenger) of a tank; either an A7V or a ''Beutepanzer'' (captured tank), and either participated in three armored assaults or being wounded during an armored assault.
Potential recipients had to apply to the Inspectorate of Motorized Troops to receive a certificate; the actual badge had to be obtained privately. Because of this unusual method of application the badge was officially certified in only 99 cases. 〔Künker, p. 137〕〔Haupt, p. 18〕
