The WW2 German Tank Destruction Badge was a military decoration awarded by Nazi Germany during World War II to individuals who single-handedly destroyed enemy tanks or armored vehicles using infantry weapons. Instituted in March 1942, the badge was intended to recognize acts of valor by soldiers not serving in armored units. The award was presented in two classes: silver for the destruction of a single tank and gold for the destruction of five tanks. The badge consists of a horizontally oriented black fabric strip featuring a silver or gold embroidered Panzer (tank) motif with a swastika insignia, bordered in silver or gold braid. The badge was sewn onto the right sleeve of the uniform. It served both as a morale booster and as an incentive for individual anti-tank actions. The Tank Destruction Badge remains a notable example of wartime recognition for individual battlefield achievement within the German Wehrmacht.
