| Inter-service awards certainly did occur. I have a nice group (courtesy of Herr. Saez ) to a LW Observer serving in Minensuchgruppe 1 who was awarded the KM Minesweeper's Badge in addition to the LW Observer's Badge. I will be posting pictures of it soon. There is also in the same group an official letter indicating that LW personnel serving in the Minensuchgruppe WERE entitled to receive the NAVAL COMBAT CLASP/Marine-Frontspange (contra Angolia in For Fuhrer and Fatherland) if their actions warranted it. Very interesting... this from a LW badge collector friend, see if I can get permission to submit the crews pic, I must saying very interesting indeed and also something else I will pop up here in a moment for you me and others interested in the crate

| though this is abit earlier time frame it indeed is the book for you as it is the base for the Minensuchegrp. this work is still obtainable in German in rare/not so rare book shops and on several different amazons too which might be easier. I will look into this and behold the all important ISBN # which is worth a nice bottle of cold Deutsche Bier  ISBN # 3-927132-26-8 will have to look into this myself more later ................ as we dive into this

| your welcome all of you I have more coming later...... yes the Minenabzeichen would look good and is quite a common KM badge for sale and many spots on the net, it does not gather that much monies either to sell them. am trying to secure a copy of that document mentioned above about the Km combat clasp which was also awarded to crew members of the Staffeln of the Minensuchegruppe

I looked on eBay last night but didn't find anything. If you know a place and what is a fair cost let me know. I think that badge would be a great finishing touch.
