West German Army Bundeswehr 2 Corps Patch

The West German Army Bundeswehr 2 Corps Patch is a uniform insignia representing the II Corps of the Bundeswehr, the unified armed forces of the Federal Republic of Germany. Formed during the Cold War era, II Corps played a central role in NATO’s defensive planning in Central Europe. The patch typically features the distinct shield design associated with II Corps, incorporating symbols and colors that denote its specific command identity within the Bundeswehr’s organizational structure. Worn on the left sleeve of the service uniform, this type of patch was used by enlisted personnel and officers assigned to II Corps headquarters and subordinate units. The insignia is crafted from woven or embroidered fabric, reflecting standard Bundeswehr production methods from the period of use. This patch serves as an authentic piece of military history, illustrating the structure and traditions of the West German armed forces prior to the reunification of Germany in 1990.
