Re: Verl and Verw
 

Nick,
unverletzt is a still existing expression.

Unlike the first, unverwundet would be very uncommon, esp. nowerdays. If it was used then, my guess would be, that the usual "logic" of not being injured would result in not being mentioned at all. Although sometimes you might stumble on a report, which states (generaly) "Ausfälle" (meaning causalities of any kind) followed by i.e. erkrankt, verwundet, verletzt (on the "un-" version of the latter two, if it were of relevance), vermisst, gefangen, gefallen etc.

Re: Verl and Verw
 

Possibly of interest in this discussion - two former Wehrmacht contacts I had rec'd injuries, the first had bullet wounds in his arm and the second lost a foot when the half track he was in rolled into a ditch. The first was awarded the Wound Badge (Verwundetabzeichen) in black the second got nothing - they were the best of friends but often had arguments about who should have got the award! Possibly shows difference between an injury and a wound?

Re: Verl and Verw
 

As you said there is a "Verwundetenabzeichen" but there is no "Verletztenabzeichen". In other words, you do recieve a recognition for injuries in a war, but you will never get a recognition for an injury due to an accident.
