Austro-Hungarian Empire: WW1 Patriotic Cap 
Badge for the Joint Operations of the Austro-
Hungarian and German Armies.
Inscribed "Viribus Unitis" (Power in Unity) and
dated 1914-15. 
The cap badge presents 2 soldiers (1 KuK and 
1 German) shaking hands over a shield with the 
combined national colors of Austria-Hungary 
and Germany.
The whole presentation constitutes an indirect 
reference to the co-operation with the German 
South Army during the operations in the 
Carpathians in 1914 - 1915. 
The German South Army was formed in Breslau, 
on Jan. 1915 and served exclusively on the 
Eastern Front. 
It was placed initially under the command of 
Infantry General von Linsingen and since Jul. 
1915 of Infantry General Graf von Bothmer. 
During 1915 the German South Army operated 
closely with the 2nd and 3rd KuK Armies in 
both offensive and defensive operations on 
the Carpathians against the Russian Army.
