Hitler Youth Badge

The public wear of all Nazi Party awards, including the Hitler Youth badge, was banned after 1945.

From January 1937, officers in the Hitler Youth and Jungvolk were required to pass an annual fitness test covering a number of different sports.

In May 1938 a special Leader's Sports Badge in Gold (German: Goldenes Fuhrersportabzeichen der Hitler Jugend) was instituted for award to those officers who achieved the highest scores in these tests.
