The Army Mountain Guide Badge (Шаблон:Lang-de) was a German military badge awarded to experienced Gebirgsjager mountain guides in Nazi Germany.

An Army Mountain Guide Badge of a different design is also awarded by the current Federal Republic of Germany.

Eligibility and appearance

The Army Mountain Guide Badge was established in August 1936. It was worn by Gebirgsjäger troops in the German Wehrmacht who had trained as mountain guides and then acted as a guide for one year. The badge was not awarded after 1945.Шаблон:Sfn

It was an oval tombac-plated iron pin-back badge, measuring 51.8 mm by 42.9 mm. The centre has an edelweiss flower in silver with a gilt centre, on a green enamel background. A surrounding white enamel band bears, on its lower portion, the word 'Heeresbergführer' in gothic script. The reverse is plain except for the pin fastening and, in most cases, the name of the manufacturer. In uniform, it was worn on or below the left-hand breast pocket,Шаблон:Sfn although it was sometimes seen worn on the right side of the jacket.[1]

A badge of a different design was awarded in Nazi Germany to police mountain guides.Шаблон:Sfn
