Ground assault badge?...
Gunny - amazing! You nailed it. The dude is wearing a Luftwaffe ground assault badge. That was fast. NH
My Missus says i'm too fast!....
Hmm, a closer look reveals other strange things. Look above the right pocket. Speaking of pockets, that looks a lot like a Heer Feldbluse with the collar cut off. Ahh! It makes me shudder! NH
Being a MN Viking Fan and the fact we gave up draft picks and our whole team to acquire Herschel Walker in 1989 I thought it was a young Herschel Walker in the picture. Nice pic and good job eagle eyes Gunny!

This is an interesting photo because there was a fashion trend in the 60s to repurpose military clothing and insignia. I'm used to seeing US bikers with German Helmets and Iron Crosses but this was a new one to me. What possessed that young man to stick a Third Reich era award on his jacket. Didn't anyone notice and ask about it?
Luftwaffe ground assault badge, took about 30 seconds !
look here too!
Remainder of a Feldbluse possibly, cut just at the top most of the pocket ?
