The "Warsaw Uprising Cross" badge, the "For Killing an SS Officer in Combat" badge, the Warsaw Uprising Cross or the Informal Warsaw Uprising Badge (all conventional names) - an unofficial military decoration probably of the Chrobry II Grouping awarded to Polish soldiers for courage and special merits during Polish-German fighting during the Warsaw Uprising.
The Cross was produced by reworking the German Iron Cross in such a way that a 1 zloty coin from 1929 with the Anchor of the Polish Underground State engraved on the eagle's chest and the date] was attached to its obverse.
The badge of the Cross was hung on the ribbon of the Cross of Valor, the right stripe of which was dyed red[1].
Subsequent awarding of the Cross was marked by placing a plain silver ferrule horizontally on the ribbon[1].
Neither the number nor the names of the decorated are known.
