Default Danish Formation Sign
Hi All, Bit necky but I have a genuine WW2 Danish Flag badge with the letters ALFD in a white scroll at the top. Anyone an idea, all my research throws up is 'Alchoholic Fatty Liver Disease', letters ALFD transposed to AFLD! Thought it may be along the lines of: Allied Liberation Forces Denmark. Cheers, Paul

Possibly Allied Land Forces Denmark, a post-war NATO related formation?

As far as I'm aware, this is the only nationality badge worn during WW2.

Hello Luc, Jon did say that this is "Possibly Allied Land Forces Denmark, a post-war NATO related formation?"
