The WW2 German Kriegsmarine Breast Eagle is an original military insignia issued to personnel of the German Navy during the Second World War. This embroidered badge was typically worn on the right breast of navy uniforms, serving as a distinctive emblem of the Kriegsmarine, the maritime branch of the German armed forces. The design features a stylized eagle with outstretched wings, clutching a swastika within a wreath. Constructed from golden-yellow or silver-gray thread, the eagle was usually sewn onto dark blue wool, conforming to standard naval uniform specifications. The insignia played a prominent role in identifying rank and service branch among German military personnel. Dimensions and materials may vary slightly based on manufacturing periods and specific uniform regulations. As with other armed forces of the era, such badges were integral to uniform identification and are of historical interest to collectors and researchers studying the organizational insignia of the Second World War.
