History

This badge was awarded to members of the General HJ who successfully completed a mountaineering course in a Wehrertüchtigungslager (pre-military exercise camp). It was worn on the lapel.

The badge is six-sided and shows an edelweiss flower with an inscription around it: HJ-Bergfahrtengruppe (Mountaineering Group) D.A.V. (Deutscher Alpenverein = German Alpine Society).
