moreBadge (colloquially known as “korpusówka”) of the Podhale Rifles regiment was introduced in the second half of 1930s . It presents a swastika with shortened bent arms against the background of a stylised fir branch. Embossed from alpaca metal sheet. The swastika is an ancient Indo-European symbol of sun, fire and prosperity. In the Polish lands, it remained the longest in Podhale, called a surprise cross. The originator of using it as a badge for the mountain units was General Andrzej Galica, who came from the White Dunajec. The badge was introduced in 1919. In the first design, the swastika had longer arms, and the branch was wider. The badges were worn on the collar flaps of uniforms and coats, with slightly larger ones worn on hats, where they held the decorative feather.
