3D PVC Patch: 2nd Republic of Austria, est. 1955.

Size: 50x80mm / 3x2 inch

Austria was part of the Holy Roman Empire and later the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which collapsed in 1918. After the republic failed in 1934, Austria was ruled by the authoritarian Ständestaat until 1938, when it was annexed by Nazi Germany. Austria regained independence in 1955 after Allied occupation.

The red–white–red flag is traditionally linked to Duke Leopold V. The national eagle, adopted in 1945, symbolizes freedom and independence; the sickle, hammer, and broken chains represent labor and liberation from Nazism.

High quality and durable PVC, woven and embroidered patches for collectors, airsofters and military enthusiasts. Also serves as a morale patch.
