Badge "First Bulgarian Army - To Berlin"
Whereas the Soviet Union awarded a Medal "For The Capture Of Berlin" for participation in the Battle for Berlin, the situation was different in Bulgaria and a "budget" campaign badge was created almost immediately. The badge is a small piece of pressed copper alloy which was painted. There are 3 holes drilled into the badge so the Soldier awarded could sew the badge onto their uniform. This was the first Bulgarian award for service during the "Patriotic War 1944-45", other award would be created in late 1945 such as the Medal "For Participation In The Patriotic War 1944-45". The First Bulgarian Army was part of the 3rd Ukrainian Front.
The third picture shows an awardee modified reverse which makes it easier to move and attach the badge. |
