Ive reposted the first pic for you.
They are known as Edelweiss patches, sometimes worn by mountain troops.

Hello thank you for your answer!
Yes, I saw this Edelweiss In Band of Brothers: the flower, Edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum), was a rare flower that can only be found/grows in rugged terrain, generally above the tree line... in a certain mountain . Only those who are "man" and brave enough can reach the top of the mountain, retrieve the flower and get down. It was even the mark of a "true soldier."
