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 silver/aluminum braiding
for NCO'
s while others were piped with twisted gilt braiding to denote outstanding
performance in the trade. When a gold piped trade badge was awarded it
came with an award certificate. |
