It was awarded to members of the \u003cstrong\u003esubmarine arm\u003c\/strong\u003e who had completed at least two combat patrols or distinguished themselves through particular bravery. German submarines waged an unprecedented \u003cstrong\u003etrade war\u003c\/strong\u003e against the Allies in World War I – with temporarily devastating losses for British supply shipping. The \u003cstrong\u003enon-ferrous metal version\u003c\/strong\u003e (brass alloy) is the early variant of the badge and is particularly sought after by specialist collectors. WWI Submarine War Badges are significantly rarer than the better-known WWII variants and are highly sought after internationally. Also available: Imperial Navy Naval Aviator Pilot's Badge (Art. No. 32.916) and Imperial German Zeppelin Badge (Art. No. 30.159).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBulk orders are worthwhile: Combine several items and save on shipping costs!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Militaria-Hoya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53430922346825,"sku":"31013","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9673\/5817\/files\/31.013a.jpg?v=1764573796","url":"https:\/\/www.militaria-hoya.com\/en\/products\/sms-marine-preussen-1-wk-bronze-u-boot-kriegsabzeichen-ausfuhrung-in-buntmetall-erinnerung-1-wk","provider":"Militaria Hoya","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
