Very hard to believe the Germans still have this badge. It was a major decoration used by the SS during the 1930s and many Waffen-SS soldiers wore the badge on thier uniforms during World War II. I imagine since there was no swastika, its continued usage must not be that of a big deal. - OberRanks ( talk) 20:56, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
It is more of a civilian award which one can win after meeting the requirements. In the military it is sometimes required to obtain a certain military award or as a requrement to be permitted to training courses. So thats NOT a Nazi or an SS invention and a large number of germans try to get the Sprotabzeichen or a higher level of the Sprotabzeichen each year. I can't believe you guys associate each german award or medal with the SS!!! -- 89.50.29.26 ( talk) 15:31, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Didnt mean to imply the SS invented it, it was much older. Just interesting its still used given the high number of awards made to Waffen-SS during the war. - OberRanks ( talk) 16:47, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
This was never really an argument- I was just interested to learn it was still around and still issued - in fact, I think one might be able to safely say its the only World War II German decoration still issued with maybe a few other exceptions. One of the reasons I think its probably still around is because the badge never had a swastika on it, not even during WWII. The Germans had to pass federal laws in the 1950s to permit the continued wearing of WWII decorations that had Nazi symbols on them and then only with such symbols removed. On that point, I wonder if the SA Sports badge was allowed to still be worn after WWII. It too was commonly issued as a sports badge throughout the entire German military. - OberRanks ( talk) 19:54, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
Simply because a service record has a section on the "front" page for awards does not indicate "importance" of the award in and of itself. The DD Form 214 is a one-page summary and includes awards. Service records often have one-page summaries and because such summaries are frequently edited, sections which receive frequent changes would be on the front for the convenience of the clerk. Something more substantial is needed to WP:V this conclusion. In the US military, there is an Awards_and_decorations_of_the_United_States_military#Order_of_precedence for awards. If the issuance of such German Sports Badges were announced in {Nazi) newspapers, by high level officials, or given prominence in obits, then secondary sources might make such conclusions.-- S.

I just put few corrections on the presentation of the DSA the most important one is that DSA since 1993 is available in 39 Countries outside Germany through the authorized Pruefer (judges) and the authorized Verein (German sport organisations in that particular Country) List of the authorized Verein/Pruefer con be obtained by the responsible office at DOSB
