The General Assault Badge or Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen was a military decoration awarded to WW2 German Army, Waffen-SS and Ordnungspolizei (Order Police) who supported an infantry attack but were not part of specific infantry units and therefore did not qualify for the Infantry Assault Badge. It was instituted by General Walther von Brauchitsch on 1 June 1940.

Designed by the Berlin-based firm of Wilhelm Ernst Peekhaus,it was an oval disk that measured 5.3 cm (2.1 in) by 4.2 cm (1.7 in). A wreath of five oak leaves runs around the circumference on each side of the medal with a pair of acorns at the base. Inside the wreath is a large Wehrmacht-style eagle with folded wings grasping a swastika which itself surmounts a crossed bayonet and stick grenade.

The medal was held in place on the uniform with a pin and catch and was worn on the left chest pocket.
