| WW2 German Kriegsmarine u-boat clasp in bronze |
The above is a U-Boat Combat Clasp. This one is the bronze class. Instituted on 15 May 1944, it was awarded for acts behind the scenes or an event beyond the
call of duty. To commemorate and recognize greater courage performed by the U-boat service. Ninety percent of U-boat crews were lost at sea and they were all volunteers. It brings to mind the bravery and valour that this decoration was instituted to commemorate.
