Kriegsabzeichen für Hilfskreuzer

To award the actions of the Hilfskreuzer, on April 24th, under the command of Großadmiral H.C. Raeder, the Kriegsabzeichen für Hilfskreuzer was introduced. The decoration could be awarded to all crews of the Hilfkreuzer, even posthumously. It was awarded after completing a successful long distance voyage by an auxiliary cruiser.

There also was a version with diamonds, inlayd in the swastika.
