20 July 1944 Wound Badge in Gold

This 20 July 1944 Wound Badge in Gold is an accurate replica of the prestigious award given to those who sustained life-threatening or severe injuries during the assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944, known as the “Stauffenberg Plot.” The badge was specifically awarded to individuals who were severely wounded during the failed bombing at the Wolf’s Lair (Wolfsschanze), a key event in the German Resistance against the Nazi regime.

The gold grade of the Wound Badge was the highest level of recognition for injuries sustained during this pivotal moment in history. The design features a stylized explosion within a wreath of oak leaves, with the central swastika symbolizing the tragic event. The gold version was reserved for those who suffered grave injuries in the bombing, marking their significant sacrifice in the face of a failed attempt to change the course of history.

Crafted with historical accuracy, this replica is ideal for reenactment, educational displays, or collectors of WWII-era military decorations. Although it is not an original wartime piece, it provides an authentic representation of this rare and important award.
