This is for all the medal collectors out there, what are the requirements for the german sports award/badge?

Which one? Each branch had its own with different criteria but I believe you either received it for passing some kind of test or by winning an international sports competition.

I just checked and im shocked--they do NOT have a section on the sports awards badges, but you can cruise through some of the forums there and should find something on them. If not--join and post questions there--these folks are very knowledgable and very helpful. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Don't tell me..

Is it called "Deutsches Sportabzeichen"??

When was it introduced?

If it is called that, then it's still awarded today!

PzGdr, Try this:

Scroll down and you will see the different badges and a brief discription of each.

Carl, I also thought the badge would be there but it was not.

Hope this helps.
