Wound Badge of the 20th July 1944 in Silver. Awarded to those wounded
as a result of the famous Bomb Plot against Hitler in 1944, when Colonel von Stauffenberg planted a brief case containing a bomb during a meeting held at the Wolfs Lair at Rastenburg in East Prussia. Hitler directed that a special wound badge should be issued to those wounded or killed as a result of the explosion. Only 100 badges were made and a maximum of 47 actually awarded. Die struck in solid brass, this badge is complete with the correct original style pin and the reverse is impressed with the makers mark. Silvered finish with polished highlights.
