BRD Mitgliedsabzeichen Verband der Heimkehrer

In an excellent condition a Bundes Republiek Deutschland Association of Returnees

The Verband der Heimkehrer, Kriegsgefangenen und Vermisstenangehörigen Deutschlands e. V. (VdH) was founded in 1950 and represented the interests of German and Austrian former prisoners of war of the Second World War, returnees, late returnees and their families.

The VdH drew attention to the soldiers and deportees who were still in captivity at the time and supported those who returned home and those who returned late in their reintegration into society, and stood up for peace and freedom.

The Austrian Returnees Association, founded in 1957, emerged from the "Interests Association of Former Prisoners of War".

The VdH drew attention to the unimaginable misery, misery and desperation of the partially uprooted and traumatized returnees. Many former prisoners died only a few years after their return from the physical and psychological consequences of the war.
