Default WW2 Kriegsmarine?

Hi,
These came in a box lot with a few other badges. Google is showing the tally as an escort squadron I really can't find anything else on it or the other badges.

Any info would be appreciated

Thanks Graham, no wonder I couldn't find it under German WW2

That solves that mystery, appreciate your help.

Thanks Mike

Seems it's all more shipping line than military based.
