We believe these badges are without a doubt original. Besides they have been found by trustable sources, let&#8217;s examine these badges in more detail. They are all attributed to the very same battery: the<br \/>\n<strong>1.\/SS-Artillerie-Regiment 5<\/strong>. The text <strong>SS-Division \u201cWiking\u201d<\/strong> and <strong>Russlandfeldzug<\/strong> mean they were probably made at some point in 1942, to commemorate the Russian campaign of 1941-1942, and before the division got renamed into <strong>SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Division \u201cWiking\u201d<\/strong> in November 1942.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The \u201cWiking\u201d division fought alongside the<strong> 1. Gebirgs-Division<\/strong> during the entire Russian campaign in 1941, and the divisions were neighbours of each other at the <strong>Mius front in 1941 and 1942<\/strong>. The 1.\/SS-Artillerie- Regiment 5 must have helped out the 1. Gebirgs-Division at some point, since on 23 April 1942, the following regimental order was given out by the HQ of SS-Artillerie-Regiment 5:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>SS-Artillerie Regiment 5 Rgt.St.Qu., den 23. April 1942<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Regimentstagesbefehl \u2013 Nr. 24<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>1.) Anerkennung:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Der 1. Batterie wurde f\u00fcr besondere Leistungen w\u00e4hrend des Einsatzes bei der Gebirgsj\u00e4ger-Division als Anerkennung das \u201cEdelweissabzeichen\u201d verliehen. Die SS Division Wiking hat die Genehmigung erteilt, dass die Angeh\u00f6rigen der 1. Batterie das Abzeichen an der Feldm\u00fctze f\u00fcr die Dauer des Krieges tragen k\u00f6nnen.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Because of supporting the 1. Gebirgs-Division, members of the <strong>1.\/SS-Artillerie-Regiment 5<\/strong> were awarded the privilege of wearing the <strong>Edelweiss badge on their caps<\/strong>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">as the only subunit of the 5. SS-Division \u201cWiking\u201d<\/span>. There was clearly a special connection between exactly the 1.\/SS-Artillerie-Regiment 5 and the 1. Gebirgs-Division.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It is also very interesting that many <strong>subunits of the 1. Gebirgs-Division had commemorative badges made in 1942<\/strong>, mostly on company level. Considering the fact that members of the 1.\/SS-Artillerie-Regiment 5 were allowed to wear the Edelweiss badge on their caps, it is entirely logical and plausible that a commemorative badge was made as well, inspired by this tradition of the 1. Gebirgs-Division. We have never seen such a badge coming from a veteran of the \u201cWiking\u201d division, but that does not mean they were never made. Many can be traced back to the Cherkassy break-out route, but they have been found on other<br \/>\nbattlefields as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The badge is made of zinc, roughly 4 cm high, and in very nice solid condition, with the text clearly readable. We have no doubt these are the real deal, and we hope we have provided enough evidence to conclude they are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These commemorative badges from the SS-Division \u201cWiking\u201d have been surrounded by controversy for some time.
