Hi Lio,

I would have to say yes they did if the same crew completed all four patrols that this U-boat went on.There were several ways to be awarded this medal.The most common would be the completion of two or more war patrols. Although the completion of two war patrols might seem a lowly requirement, but a typical U-boat war cruise would often run into months at a time. Completing two war patrols could be equally dangerous as the U-boat has to endure constant attacks by Allied warplanes and warships The other occasion when this badge was awarded was having been wounded during a patrol or killed in action. Just my opinion on the matter. I could be wrong.

Scott
