The Luftwaffe was the aerial warfare branch of the combined German Wehrmacht military forces during WWII. As a result of the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which stated that Germany was forbidden to have any air force the Luftstreitkräfte of the Army and the Marine-Fliegerabteilung of the Navy had been disbanded in May 1920.
During the interwar period, German pilots were trained secretly at Lipetsk Air Base. With the rise of the Nazi Party the Luftwaffe was officially established on 26 February 1935. Led by Hermann Goering, the Luftwaffe was the largest, most sophisticated, technologically advanced, and battle-experienced air forces in the world when World War II broke out in 1939. By the summer of 1939, the Luftwaffe had twenty-eight Geschwader (wings). The Luftwaffe also operated Fallschirmjäger paratrooper units.
The Luftwaffe proved instrumental in the German victories across Poland and Western Europe in 1939 and 1940. During the Battle of Britain, however, despite inflicting severe damage to the RAF's infrastructure and, during the subsequent Blitz, devastating many British cities, the German air force failed to batter the beleaguered British into submission.

History: of the Army Paratrooper Badge: The awarded to German Army parachutists upon the completion of training, including five jumps. The soldier was required to make at least six jumps a year to remain qualified. Established on Sept. 1, 1937, the badge was awarded until the start of World War II, when all parachute units were placed under the control of the Luftwaffe. However, those who had earned the badge continued to wear it during the war, rather than the Luftwaffe version. It was worn on the left breast pocket. The badge features a diving eagle, in silver, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves in gilt, topped by the Army eagle and swastika. The eagle is riveted to the wreath. The reverse is fitted with a simple pin-back.
Details: Measures slightly more than two inches with pin back.
