- Lot Description
This Anti-Partisan Badge in Bronze, awarded to Lieutenant Bruno Dewitz on August 25, 1944, includes its original award document, signed by Karl Wolff, a high-ranking SS and Police official known as "the man between Hitler and Himmler", which is possibly stamped. The document bears Wolff’s official SS Police stamp, making this professionally framed and matted display a one-of-a-kind piece of German wartime memorabilia.
Instituted in January 1944, the Bandit-Warfare Badge (Bandenkampfabzeichen) was awarded to German personnel who participated in counterinsurgency operations against resistance fighters. It was commonly given for 20+ days of combat against anti-partisans, particularly in the Eastern Front and Yugoslavia. The badge features a sword piercing a hydra, symbolizing the NSDAPs campaign against partisans.
About the Bandit-warfare Badge (Bandenkampfabzeichen); also called Anti-Partisan or Guerrilla Warfare Badge, was a World War II decoration of NSDAP Germany awarded to members of the Army, Luftwaffe, Order Police, and Waffen-SS for participating in rear-area security operations, the so- called Bandenbekämpfung (bandit fighting). The badge was instituted on 30 January 1944 by Adolf Hitler after authorization/recommendation by Heinrich Himmler. The award was intended to recognize those who had taken part in combating the growing Partisan menace which was causing so much disruption in the areas occupied by the German armed forces along with her Allies. The badge is usually associated predominantly with battles against Soviet Partisans in the Eastern Europe and with Tito and Yugoslavia. But was of course intended for all those who had seen action against Partisans on all the fronts. Although this was an SS and Police award, it was open to all those who had fought against the Partisans and fulfilled the appropriate criteria listed. Thus, it was also awarded to members of the Army, Navy, and Luftwaffe personnel as well as to SS and Police units. Authority to bestow the award lay with the High Command of each branch of the Armed Forces and with the local Höhere SS- und Polizei Führer in the case of Waffen-SS or SS and Polizei awards.
