Hi David, I cant say for a fact that they were awarded, but im sure a few were. I dont know--I can check Senichs book on German Snipers and look at the pictures and see if any of them actually wore the badge.

Actually-I would think they would not wear the badge--they would stand out too much from the regulas German G.I.s.

Anyway--ill check and see if the book shows anything.
