Edelweiss Cap Insignia
Dated 1941 / G.B.
The Edelweiss Cap Insignia was a distinctive emblem worn by German mountain troops, specifically the Gebirgsjäger, during World War II. The Edelweiss flower symbolized rugged terrain, as it typically grows in high-altitude rocky environments, and it became a symbol of honor and bravery associated with these specialized units.
This was typically worn on the side of the Bergmütze (mountain cap) or on the field cap of the Gebirgsjäger uniform. This insignia represented the elite nature of the mountain troops and their specialized training for combat in mountainous regions.
