Austro-Hungarian Empire: WW1 patriotic cap badge 
commemorating the joint operations of the KuK and 
German Armies. 
Dated 1914–15 and inscribed "Viribus Unitis" 
(Strength in Unity), it shows two soldiers—Austro-
Hungarian and German—shaking hands over a 
shield with their national colors. 
A tribute to the cooperation with the German 
South Army during the Carpathian campaigns.
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.
