Concerning the Panzersturm abzeichen...
Gustavo,
About the PAnzersturm abzeichen, I think that probably is a reference to the "Panzer Assault Badge", an award given to soldiers who were members of the Panzertruppe, as a trank crew (in which case the soldier receive it in Silver grade) or as a panzergrenadier (bronze grade).
For more info about this award go to the http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com
Interesting to note that he also was a recipient of the Iron Cross 2nd and 1st classes.

Douglas.
