The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Did the Odenwald Receive the Badge?


Looking at the criteria from the previous list, I am not sure whether or not anyone on the Odenwald received a badge or not.

They did not evade the blockade, they did unsuccessfully try to scuttle the ship, the ship wasn't destroyed by the enemy and I saw no mention of courage displayed by the crew.

And, there was no mention of getting the badge if your ship was captured.
