West German Army Bundeswehr 3 Corps Patch

The West German Army Bundeswehr 3 Corps Patch is a military insignia used by personnel assigned to the III Corps of the Bundeswehr, the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Germany. Established during the Cold War period, III Corps played a key role in the defense structure of West Germany as part of NATO’s Central Army Group. The patch typically features a shield-shaped design with distinctive colors and symbols representing the corps’ identity. Worn on the uniform’s sleeve, this embroidered cloth badge signified membership and unit affiliation for soldiers within the 3 Corps. Items such as these are of interest to collectors, historians, and researchers studying military organization and insignia. The West German Bundeswehr adopted standardized uniform insignia following its formation in 1955, and this patch is representative of that era. The design and construction reflect military specifications for durability and clarity of identification during service use.
