The institutional rules of the decoration was adjusted on June 1st 1940, when a second version was introduced, the Sturmabzeichen in Bronze. The new bronze version was to be awarded to members of motorised Infantry and Gebirgsjäger Units. At the same time it was decided that the badge could also be awarded to members of the Waffen-SS. It could also be awarded to members of the Ordnungspolizei from November 12th 1942.

With the institution of the "Ordens-Gesetz" of 1957, it was German military permitted to wear de-nazified versions of German decorations. Also the Infanterie- Sturmabzeichen was produced from 1957 as a de-nazified version, without the eagle and the Swastika.
