WW2 GERMAN HEER SIGNALS BLITZ SLEEVE PATCH

This is an original WWII German Infantry Signals Blitz sleeve patch.  

The German military used a lot of different insignia to denote specific roles and skills within its ranks. The WW2 German Infantry Signals Blitz sleeve patch is a historically significant piece of this system. Normally worn on the sleeve, this patch identified soldiers attached to the communications unit within the infantry. The term "Blitz," meaning lightning, alludes to the fast and precise nature of their work, crucial for maintaining the vital lines of communication on the battlefield. The patch's lighning bolt reflects the rapid transmission of orders and information.
