"The weak must be chiseled away. I want young men and women who can suffer pain. A young German must be as swift as a greyhound, as tough as leather, and as hard as Krupp's steel."
That's a cool looking set. Why are there differences in the badges? Different makers or time periods? I'm not good with badges at all.
Thanks for the kind welcome. They are marked, the one on the right is the dress wear, this has no mark being zinc

The first is a siver gilt piece, there was no silver badge in this type of award. The third is the dress copy of the first badge. The reason for the design change is as yet not known. The citation has the middle piece at the top, the one that Dr Fritz Todt had was the type as the first piece. So great work to be done. As there were only approx 250 awarded, a bit of a rare Bear as they say.
Thanks for the information. Yes indeed a rare bear as you say, thanks for showing.
Great set of badges!
