The rest of the crew is in non-uniform work clothes therefore they wear neither medals nor insignia. On anything that is not government issue clothing, the emblems/insignia would not be realistic IMO.
Thanks for your opinions on this.

I am torn between keeping it realistic ie,going with the no emblems & casual look,and tailoring the crew to my own personal style ie,I wouldnt mind German greatcoats with a German helmet? LOL) for the watch,blue overalls for the seamen below deck,and not entirely sure for the other officers,maybe Das Boot influenced,or greatcoats and German helmet! LOL
