WW2 GERMAN LUFTWAFFE GROUND COMBAT BADGE
Single piece die struck alloy construction, solid backed badge. Burnished grey washed cloud and lightning strike still retains most of its coating. Complete with original hinge, pin and catch assembly. In late 1941 the first Luftwaffe ground combat units were hastily formed to help replace the massive loss of men on the Eastern front, followed by the formation of the Brigade Meindl consisting of five Luftwaffe Field Battalions in February 1942. As a result of the formation of these new ground combat units, Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring established the Luftwaffe Ground Combat Badge on March 31ST 1942, for award to all Luftwaffe personnel who had distinguished themselves in ground combat.
