This is a German World War II DRL sports badge. The sports badge has it's roots in the German Empire with the Award for Physical Exercise. It continued to be amended and expand during the Weimar Republic. Originally the DRA, it was replaced by the DRL on 27 July, 1934. Beginning in 1935 the badge featured a swastika at the bottom of the badge and the letters DRL. The badge was awarded to men and women ages 18 to 24 to encourage achievements in physical education. Testing for the badge included various activities in swimming, running, jumping, weight throwing and speed tests. The badges, like most every other German badge, were issued in three different finishes, bronze, silver and gold. This bronze DRL sports badge is in very good condition. It was manufactured by WERNSTEIN JENA and is also back marked DRGM 35269. It will be a nice addition to your WWII German medals collection.
