Scott Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) Correct Wessel. An ordinary NSDAP party pin would not be allowed; but the Gold Party Badge was an official award for significant contributions to the party. Note it's precidence above the Iron Cross 1st Class.ScottPS: Nice photos! Edited March 14, 2008 by Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 No names on the backs of those GPB holders' photos?Ordinary Party pins were allowed--indeed, required--on PARTY uniforms, but not allowed on Wehrmacht ones. The difference is the Gold Party Badge's status as an official decoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) More great photos. Love the 'cut-out' WWI wound bage on the last one, and it looks like his EKI may have burnished highlights on the core.Scott Edited March 19, 2008 by Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stijn David Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Hello,@ Wessel: great picture => that officer is wearing the bullion version of the Silver C profiency badge. I am working on a book about the silver C profiency badge, will contact you about it Cordial greetings, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I noticed the "super C" glider patch as well - would like to have one of those. The guy in the lower photo of post #141 looks like a young Kirk Douglas (the actor) - he's wearing his LW qualification badge above his EK1...

Mike H Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) One of my favorite group pictures, this one was taken by a studio in Magdeburg. Some of the Luftwaffe "old guard". Note several PLM winners and also those wearing the Richtofen commemorative cufftitles. Bruno Loerzer in the middle.A pity I can't run this larger -- it has amazing quality, clarity, and detail.Mike Edited June 1, 2008 by Mike Heuer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessel Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Mike...what is the award that Erich Homburg is wearing with the static swastika and what looks like a crown at the top? Never seen that one before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
