German Women’s Luftwaffe Helper Badge

In grayed zinc stamped metal, flat-back and unmarked, measures 41mm x 30mm, in excellent condition. Crimped fastener is missing much of the pin. Very hard to find badge.

The Luftwaffe was the aerial-warfare branch of the Wehrmacht before and during World War II. Germany’s military air arms during World War I, the Luftstreitkräfte of the Imperial Army and the Marine-Fliegerabteilung of the Imperial Navy, had been disbanded in May 1920 in accordance with the terms of the 1919 Treaty of Versailles which banned Germany from having any air force.
