Wilhelm Ernst Peekhaus was a German designer who designed military decorations of Nazi Germany. He was commissioned multiple times to design war badges. The awards he designed were for recognizing participation in combat in some way with specific requirements based on the specific award. He designed the Fast Attack Craft War Badge, the U-boat Front Clasp, the General Assault Badge, the Panzer Badge, the Army Anti-Aircraft Badge, and the Air Force Anti-Aircraft Flak Battle Badge. These were designed for the use of the Wehrmacht, specifically for the use of Kriegsmarine, and the Heer. The Fast Attack Craft War Badge was a German military decoration awarded to Kriegsmarine members for service on fast attack crafts or torpedo boats. The U-boat Front Clasp was a German badge that was awarded to holders of the U-boat War Badge to recognize continued combat service and valor during World War II. There were no fixed merits to earn the award, but was based on the recommendations of the U-boat commander and subject to approval by Karl Dönitz. The Panzer Badge was a German medal that recognized the crews of armored vehicles other than tanks. It was also to be presented to members of armored reconnaissance groups and rifle battalions of Panzer divisions. The authorization of these badges was usually done at a regimental or divisional level.
