The Hitler Youth Badge (German: Das Hitler-Jugend-Abzeichen) was a political decoration of Nazi Germany, awarded for various degrees of service to the Hitler Youth, (Hitler Jugend). The badge was first created in 1929, with formal regulations for presentation as a decoration formalized from 1933. In addition, the Hitler Youth introduced a number of other awards for merit and proficiency.

The public wear of all Nazi Party awards, including the Hitler Youth badge, was banned after 1945.[1]
