32nd Division badge (Yugoslavia)

[BalkanCollector]

The 32nd Zagorje Division of the Yugoslav Army badge (1945), commemorating 2 years of the unit's formation in December 1943. The badge was worn on the left breast pocket but soldiers often wore it over the pocket. The photo examples are in the next few posts. 

 

Here's the badge from my collection:

Here's one example of the correct wear. The photo is from the book Moje selo partizansko (My Partisan Village) by Dragutin Mrkoci and this is him as an officer. Judging by everything, the photo was taken somewhere between December 1945 and 1946.

Two more examples from the same book. The first photo shows the correct wear and in the second one, we can see the potporučnik (second lieutenant) wearing it incorrectly.

Another one from the forum paluba.info. An officer wearing the badge above the pocket.

That's an interesting badge I haven't noticed before, thanks!

Thank you for the interest! If you come across photos of soldiers wearing this badge, please share them here.

Here's another one. This time a pin from 1951 commemorating 8 years since the formation of the 32nd Division. The pin is significantly smaller than the badge from 1946.
