The Wound Badge of 20 July 1944 is one of the rarest and most historically significant German decorations ever. It was personally instituted by Adolf Hitler and awarded exclusively to the survivors of the 20 July 1944 assassination attempt – the Stauffenberg assassination attempt at the Wolf's Lair – who had been wounded in the bomb explosion. With only a few dozen awards, this badge is one of the rarest of the entire Second World War. This piece is a high-quality museum reproduction, hardly distinguishable from the original.
