SS-Ostuf. is led blindfolded behind British lines to discuss the surrender of his unit near Tarvisio, Italy on 7 May 1945. The same officer is seen shortly afterwards discussing terms with a British officer.
Here you'll find more Pictures of Anti Partisan Badge being worn.

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

Movement of Discussion
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,

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

Re: BKAbz.
That would also work. But when you would also include grade of the award, would be like BKAbz.i.B. (very long abbrevation).Michael Miller wrote:Or how about "BKAbz."?
