The Panzer Assault Badge in bronze was introduced by Generaloberst Walther von Brauchitsch on June 1, 1940 for award to Panzer-Grenadier, medical, and armored car personnel who participated in three different armored assaults on three different days.

The design of the badge was identical to the earlier instituted Panzer Assault Badge in silver and only differs in color. Nicely detailed alloy badge with a bronze washed finish. The obverse is in the form of an embossed, vertically oval, oak-leaf wreath with a Wehrmacht style eagle with down-swept wings holding a swastika, superimposed over the wreath at top center. The wreath also surrounds the forward advancing profile of a tank.

The reverse of the badge is slightly concave. There is crimped and soldered hinge with a rounded pin with “C’ type catch.  The reverse is well marked with “FRANK & REIF” over “STUTTGART.”  [ad] [ph:L]
