Basic Help Needed

[coastie]

A co-worker has asked me to identify and if possible place values some items here. The story I'm getting is that this is stuff brought back from the war, maybe yes maybe no. I know the pictures don't show maker marks and such. This may come later but just need a point to start. The only things in the picture here I recognize is the HJ badge and the Frauenschaft badge. Everything else I'm drawing a blank.

Next a party arm band but don't know what the collar tab is. The cloth breast eagles(?) Luftwaffe? but why do they look like vultures ?

Up next are some flags.

Here are two wehrmacht flags but I'm confused as to the size of the swastika. Is one Wehrmacht and the other Kreigsmarine?

The collar tab is for NCO level in the German railways-- the Reichsbahn. The cap "vultures" are also, I think, Reichsbahn.

The red sleeve patch with the khukri must surely be from some British Gurkha unit.

The Toulon badge appears to be French naval coastal defense.

I thought the Kukri was out of place. Thanks about the Reichsbahn tip.
