WW2 German Kriegsmarine Junior NCO Bevo Breast Eagle

The WW2 German Kriegsmarine Junior NCO Bevo Breast Eagle is an insignia issued to non-commissioned officers of the German Navy during the Second World War. This embroidered eagle served as a distinctive emblem, designed for wear on the right breast of the naval service tunic. Manufactured using the Bevo weaving technique, the breast eagle features a detailed, woven representation of the national eagle clutching a swastika, with wings outstretched. The eagle is typically rendered in golden-yellow or light-coloured thread on a dark navy blue background, consistent with Kriegsmarine uniform regulations of the period. The Bevo method allowed for precise details and a flat profile, making these insignia both durable and practical for uniform application. This item is representative of the standardized insignia worn by Junior NCOs in the Kriegsmarine and reflects the organizational structure and visual symbolism used by German armed forces between 1939 and 1945.
