              Thank you for you reply,
              I know a bit about this badge.
              OND means Opera Nazionale Dopolavoro = National Organisation After the Work; it is the predecessor of the German KDF. Dr. Robert Ley , chief of the later KdF visited Italy in 1929 and he like it and introduced the system in 1933 with agreement of Hitler.
              I wanted to know a bit more about the voyages to Gemany itselves.
              You are right the "II" could signify "2e" , because I think there are made more friendly travel then, but also possible is " il" viaggio= italian "the" ....travel, starting with a capital "I" and an "L" .
              Later, in the war time, the Germans took thousends of Italians as slave-labours to Germany to work.
