WW2 France French Maginot Line Defence Beret Badge Sew On (2)

The WW2 France French Maginot Line Defence Beret Badge Sew On is an original cloth insignia associated with French military personnel assigned to the Maginot Line during World War II. The Maginot Line was an extensive system of fortifications constructed along France’s eastern border in the years leading up to the war, intended to deter invasion and provide a secure defensive position. This sew-on beret badge typically features embroidered details that would identify the wearer as part of the Maginot Line’s defense forces. The design often includes symbolic references to fortifications or the French military, rendered in thread and suitable for application to uniform headwear. Such badges served both practical and symbolic purposes, indicating the specific duty post and branch of service. Items like this provide insight into the organizational structure and uniform practices of the French Army during the early phases of the Second World War.
