Hungarian paratrooper badge

[Gabe]

Dear Members!

I would like to show you my Hungarian paratrooper badge. During WW2 Hungary had just one paratrooper division, its name was Szent László Hadosztály (Division Saint Ladislaus). The division was officially formed in October 1944.
The badge was found some years ago in a bunker in Nothern-Hungary/South-Slovakia. The badge is made of aluminium, and the soldiers wore it on the pocket of their tunics.
But as you can see, one photo is showing, that the soldiers are wearing these badges on their caps. But we can say, just because of propaganda purposes.

I do not own the to photos, which are showing the soldiers wearing the badges.


Regards
Gábor
