Infanterie Sturmabzeichen, Panzerkampfabzeichen

[Teutonicknights]

Folks could you shed some light on these and the difference between bronze, silver, etc. No maker on the Panzerkampfabzeichen, the Infanterie Sturmabzeichen, has a triangle with I believe; A inside a BIG S., and is bronze.

Bronze = motorized troops. Silver = Infantry troops

Bronze = motorized troops. Silver = Infantry troops

Agreed, this applies to the Infanterie Sturmabzeichen.
For the Panzerkampfabzeichen, Silver = Tank crews. Bronze = Crews of armoured vehicles other than tanks.

So nothing special about the badges being designated to people operating larger tanks, Tigers, Panters, etc. ( on the Panzerkampfabzeichen)? These are my favorites, don't know if they are worth much, but...

In the later war years assault gun/tank destroyer crews (STuG,Marder,Hetzer etc). Were awarded Silver PKA's rather than the ASA. Stewy
