SA/HJ/etc awards/badges on WH uniforms?

[MASteel]

Hello,

Aftrer looking a load of period pictures I started to wonder which SA/HJ/etc awards/badges/tinnies were officially authorized to be worn on Wehrmacht uniforms?

SA sports badge is frequently seen (especially) on early pictures and from time to time also HJ proficiency badge can be spotted from pics. Were these officially accepted or did the recipients just wear those on their Heer/KM/LW uniforms?

If authorized, what other awards/badges/tinnies from SA/HJ/etc were accepted to be worn on WH uniforms (if any)?


Thanks,
Miikka

Miikka,

I'm not a "badge person" at all and I am certain there are far more knowledgable people on this forum who can help you. The SA sport badges are seen a lot on WH uniforms in period pics but I'm uncertain about HJ awards... Still, just noticed this photo in one of my Kriegsmarine photo albums which may answer part of your question or offer a clue at least.

Hope that helps or gets a discussion going... Kurt

Thanks Kurt, good photo !

So does anyone know if these HJ badges were officially authorized or just accepted (when trooper had no other awards to wear )?

Does anyone have more pics like this?

Thanks!

Miikka
