Campaign shields (Wehrmacht)

Campaign shields (German: Ärmelschild, lit.'Sleeve shield'), also known as campaign arm shields, were badges of differing design awarded to members of the German Wehrmacht for participation in specific battles or campaigns during World War II. Each shield was worn on the left upper arm of the uniform jacket. If a recipient received more than one shield, the earlier was worn above any later awards.[1]
