I didn't move it Kocjo but I guess it was initiated as an SS and Polizei award, at least, they were the ones mostly fighting the partisans..! I assume this is logically why :D

Kocjo~

Matt is correct- The Anti-Partisan war (Bandenbekaempfung) was under SS und Polizei control (von dem Bach and his staff), and the award was instituted by the RFSS, hence movement to this section.

Best wishes,

Kocjo
it does seem that most folk class it as an SS/Polizei award although as we know many were presented to the Heer & Luftwaffe.

Yes.

Both on the other hand; most of the men on the list are from Polizei or SS.

BTW. I have interesting question, well more of proposal.

Should we change/started to using new abbrevation for Bandenkampfabzeichen. Current abbrevation APB comes from English translation Anti-Partisan Badge. But this abbrevation is and could be also mistaken for Army Parachutist Badge (Fallschirmschützenabzeichen des Heeres).

Should we start using BKA (Bandenkampfabzeichen)?

Waiting for your thoughts on this,
Kocjo

This is not connected with Third Reich, but BKA means Bundeskriminalamt in Germany today. So some people might be puzzled...

That would also work. But when you would also include grade of the award, would be like BKAbz.i.B. (very long abbrevation).

Here are the military units of some of the men we know about:

SS-Ustuf Otto Anders = B d.Sipo u. SD Weißruthenien
FunkOgefr Heinz Bischoff = KRIEGSMARINE Marineeinsatzkdo 80
Ogefr Josef Zaglmaier = Stabskp/JägerRegt 749
Oberjäger Albert Sell = 14/JägerRegt 721
Uffz Günter Storck = 8/Sib.Kossack.Rtr Rgt 2
ZugWm d.Schupo d.Res Johnannes Wolf = 2/SS-Pol Regt 24
Hptm Heinz Buss = 3/NSG.9



I think that NSG = NachtSchlachtGeschw

Marineeinsatzkommando 80 was part of the Kommando der Kleinkampfmittel (english translation?) and was involved in many antipartisan actions in Italy, mostly in Piedmont and on the Riviera near San Remo. Its CO Waldemar Krumhaar was put on trial in Turin after he war for a rataliatory executions of civilians in Borgoticino (Novara).
Nachtschlachtgruppe (Geschwader) 9 took part in many antipartisan actions near Turin in Piedmont in 1944.
