The U-Boot-Kriegsabzeichen was re-established on October 13, 1939, by the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Grand Admiral Erich Raeder. It was based on the 1918 design. The design was similar, however, the imperial crown was replaced by the Reichsadler (Imperial Eagle) with a swastika. The design was primarily the work of the painter and graphic artist Wilhelm Ernst Peekhaus from Berlin. It could be awarded to all officers, non-commissioned officers, and enlisted men who had distinguished themselves on at least two or more combat patrols on submarines. In the case of injury during a patrol, the requirement of two patrols could be waived.
