VtwinVince Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Gentlemen,Here is another badge from the estate of my uncle, Major Dr. Albrecht Ochs. Has anyone seen one of these before? It is nicely finished with blue enamel. Does anyone know what the designation S8 stands for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hi V,These badges, issued by the ?Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps (NSFK), were worn by ground observers/officials during national flying events/competitions. The numbers are thought to be the stage where the official was located. Your particular badge was for the ?Germany Flight? an event held in 1938 for powered aircraft. Here is another example of one of these event badges for the "Coastal flight" competition-1938. Unnumbered, it was most likely issued to a participant.
