Czechoslovakia. Badge of the Proletarian Physical Education Federation (Federace proletářské tělovýchovy, FPT) from the Czech city of Kladno, dated 1934.
The Federace proletářské tělovýchovy (in English: Proletarian Physical Education Federation) was a Czechoslovak organization of a political and sporting nature, active especially during the 1920s and 1930s. It was founded in 1921 under the name Federation of Workers’ Gymnastics Units and changed its name in 1926 to the Proletarian Physical Education Federation. Emerging as a workers’ response to the traditional (considered bourgeois) sports movement, this federation promoted physical activity and sports from a Marxist and revolutionary perspective, closely linked to the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia.
In 1938, it was dissolved following the Munich Agreement.
