As an aircraft tech., I had to have these when I saw them. These are WWII luftwaffe patches. Still researching, but it seems the prop. & wings are flight personnel & the radial engine is for aircraft maintenance . Anybody who knows more, please let me know. Combat insignia is a relatively easy to research compared to behind the lines.
My company is at the French airport, so maybe I won't show them there. LOL !! Actually, they would like to see them.
Top Patch: A Luftwaffe Trade Badge Flying Personnel Badge worn by the air crew other than the pilot.
Thanks Dizzy. That's pretty much what I kept running into. What do you mean by "trade badge" ?
Bottom One : Aircraft Equipment Administrator (Flugzeugger?t).
Trade Patch or Badge is just a term used for these cloth patches.

Dizzy, Jacky's in Berlin (Thank God) & we aren't speaking. Having a bit of trouble with the translation. This is like a quartermaster for parts ?
Yep, kind of like a Supply Sargeant for Aircraft Parts and Equipment
Thanks again Dizzy. Have a good one.
