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.

Sorry to say but the cap tally is not WW2 Kriegsmarine but postwar Bundesmarine. The 1. Geleitgeschwader was formed in 1956.

I think the eagle is something to do with the prewar German car manufacturer 'Adler' see here:
