Original World War II German Red Cross (Deutsches Rotes Kreuz – DRK) membership badge, worn by personnel affiliated with the DRK, including medical staff, nurses, and auxiliary support units operating under the German wartime system.
The badge features the iconic black eagle clutching a swastika, positioned above a red enamel cross, symbolizing the organization’s medical role within the Third Reich.
Constructed of stamped metal with enamel detailing, this example retains its original pinback setup, still intact on the reverse.
This piece was likely worn on civilian uniform, tunic, or field attire by DRK personnel.
Condition:
Relic / dug condition. Heavy corrosion and surface degradation with visible edge loss. Significant finish wear on the metal body.
The red enamel cross remains notably well preserved, maintaining strong visual contrast despite overall deterioration.
Pin intact but shows age and oxidation.
A visually striking and authentic battlefield-recovered example.
