They both are from German Naval Officers that served in the Uboat fleet, but i think both officers served aboard surface ships before these pictures.

Looks like the bottom one on the pic link you posted is the German Cross in Gold

(They nicknamed it the "Fried Egg")

I thought it was the German Cross but i thought the German Cross goes on the Right breast pocket not the left? And the Minsweeper badge, thats good i thought it was that, but i dont know if its the picture but it looks like there is a line running across the badge so thats y i didnt think it was the Minesweeper badge.

thanks for the Help guys
