My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

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.
