Recommended Posts

Today I would like to share with you the Aermel badge of the female labour service better known as RADwJ, RADwJ stands for Reichsarbeitsdienst der weibliche Jugend (Labor Service of the Reich for the Female Youth / German Third Reich)
These were used in identifying the GAU Districts of each 'Bezirk' or group based on location by a numbering system using Roman Numerals, by the end of the war there were at least 34 Bezirks. They all have the same characteristics except the number.

Placed in the center between known original examples is the fake, it should be easy to spot the difference in material alone, the 'Fake' is more of a Rayon-Nylon type material and not close to the original cotton.
