re: Kriegsmarine Coastal Artillery war badge/ Kriegsabzeichen für die Marineartillerie
Hi Ben, it was awarded on a points basis, which was similar to the Heer & Luftwaffe war badges.
8 points would be required for award of the badge. 2 points were given for the destruction of an aircraft. If another battery jointly claimed the kill, 1 point was given.
Searchlight, sound detector crews etc were also eligable, but were only given half a point per dectection.
Like other war badges it could also be given for a single act of bravery to which no other award was given.
Cheers, Ade.
