Description

The badge is embroidered on a blue-gray cloth. It was attached to the tunic with a thread (sewn on) so as not to interfere during jumps. The insignia is a wreath of oak leaves on one side and laurel leaves on the other side, intertwined with a ribbon at the bottom. A diving eagle made of gilded thread is inscribed in the wreath, holding a swastika in its paws.
