On entering
Luftwaffe service, EM/NCO personnel were assigned and trained
for a specific trade or military mission. On completion
of the training, personnel were issued a trade specialty
badge worn on the lower left sleeve of the service tunic
and the flight and field blouses as an identity insignia.
The trade badges were introduced in May 1935 and additional
badges authorized up to and during the war. The Luftwaffe
had thirty-nine trade specialty badges. Some badges were
piped with twisted grey or aluminum braiding for NCO's while others were piped with twisted gilt braiding to denote outstanding performance. When a gold piped trade badge was awarded it came with an award certificate. |
