Description
"Only those with the courage and tenacity to overcome the most terrible odds can be a true member of Der Schwarz Fuchsgeschwader. It takes more than just knowing how to fly a plane. It takes the skill and cunning ways of the fox to be a true hunter of the skies. Honor, loyalty, and duty above all. A willingness to give your life for that in which you believe in with your whole heart.THAT is what makes up a TRUE hero of The Black Fox Squadron."
~Oberst Anna-Katrin von Bödeker, co-commander of Der Schwarz Fuchsgeschwader, in a speech to new recruits, May, 1944.Oberst Anna-Katrin von Bödeker had this medal commissioned in early 1944, when she joined Generalleutnant Adolf Galland as co-commander of a newly formed experimental jet fighter squadron. Worn on the left tunic pocket and similar to a Panzer Badge , it was awarded to all men who served in the squadron after their return from their first mission.
863 were awarded posthumously.
Upon completion of 25 missions, the bearer would receive a gold version to replace the original silver one.
(As an aside, TheEvilColonel , this is also the medal that was given to Commander Valentine by Anna-Katrin for his birthday.)

Mentioned it by the way and thought you might be interestet to know: In german language it must have the article for the Geschwader, what is a thing, so it is "Das".
And the black fox name would be written as one word(even in this way words can become a bit long sometimes but...well, you get used to it). So it would be "Schwarzfuchs". As total you can spell it "Das Schwarzfuchsgeschwader" or "Das Geschwader Schwarzfuchs"(the second version can spelled without the article, what would make it more solid, more strong.
Hope that was helpful.
