Description
This Original CAP badge is a circular badge with a diameter of 22mm. It features a black eagle with outstretched wings and a red shield on its chest. The shield is emblazoned with a white cross pattée and the letters "KB" for "Kyffhauserbund." The eagle and shield are surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and acorns. The wreath is a separate symbol that is often worn with the CAP badge. It consists of a wreath of oak leaves and acorns, with a small black eagle perched on top. The wreath is worn on the left side of the cap, while the CAP badge is worn on the right.
Both the CAP badge and wreath are worn by members of the Kyffhauserbund as a symbol of their membership in the organization and their commitment to its ideals. The organization has a strong focus on veterans' issues and promoting patriotism and national unity in Germany.
History
The Kyffhauserbund is a German veterans' organization that was founded in 1900. The organization takes its name from the Kyffhäuser mountain range in Thuringia, where the legendary Emperor Barbarossa is said to be sleeping in a cave and will one day awaken to restore Germany to greatness. The Kyffhauserbund CAP badge and wreath are both symbols associated with the organization.
