    There is another field of interest to the Luftwaffe badge collector, this being the qualification badges issued to members of the German Luftwaffe who served with the other Axis Powers.

    Not only did these Luftwaffe flight crews wear the normal German qualification badges, but those who flew with any of the other Axis forces were also entitled to wear the corresponding badge issued by that particular Country..

    Axis Countries.

    Germany.

    Italy.

    Japan.

    Hungary.

    Rumania

    Bulgaria.

    Independent State of Croatia (NDH)

    As with most Axis medals, awards and badges, both German and locally manufactured examples will be encountered.

    First up, the Bulgarian Observers badge.

    Made by the specialist German manufacturer ?Friedrich Sedlatzek? and personalized with the initials ?TK?.. The same badge can be seen, being worn, by a DKiG winner, in the photograph, below..
