HISTORY:
The NSDMB, "National Sozialistische Deutscher Marine Bund" (National Socialist German Navy League) was the name adopted by its members in 1935 of the earlier named organization, "Bund Deutscher Marine Vereine" (League of the German Navy Association).
In 1938, it was attached to the NS-RKB, "Nationalsozialistische-Reichskriegerbund," (National Socialist German Warrior League) who introduced this new pattern national eagle, which was nearly identical to the earlier "Soldatenbund" (Soldiers’ league) eagle.
In 1943, the NSDMB came under the control of the "Kriegsmarine" (Navy).
