Default German?, Austrian?
Can anyone identify these two patches for me please? I believe they may be either German or Austrian patches.
Any help would be much appreciated.

1. Lw Jagdbombergeschwader 34, (Memmingen).

I don't recognise the second one as German.

Thanks for the German dentification, Marc.
I wondered if the edelweiss flower was Austrian, but can't see it yet in what info I have. It may not be military of course.

The design of the Edelweiss is Austrian going by some of their other badges.

I suppose we must be thankful to note the compass rose on the former.

Cancel my last.

The second badge is for the 2./Jagdbombergeschwader 34.

Thank you for that, Marc. It's good of you to search for, and identify them both for me.
