WW2 German Hermann Goring Field Division Luftwaffe Patches & Photos

For sale is a WW2 German (Fallschirm-Panzer-Division 1. Hermann Göring Brustadler) Cap eagle, cockade and several related photographs. 
 

Constructed of black wool, the obverse bearing a machine-embroidered silver-grey Luftwaffe eagle clutching a mobile swastika.  The Luftwaffe pattern national eagle was originally introduced for wear by Fliegerschaft, (Pilot Base), personnel of the DLV, Deutscher Luftsportsverband, (German Air Sports Association), the clandestine, civilian, forerunner of the Luftwaffe on August 18TH 1934 and was officially adopted for wear by all Luftwaffe personnel on March 1ST 1935. The original first pattern national eagle was utilized until a, slightly modified, second pattern national eagle was introduced in late 1936 or early 1937. Regulations dictated that the national eagle was to be worn on almost all headgear and on the right breast of almost all uniforms with a few minor exceptions. In good condition, however the eagle does have some staining.  Accompanying this is the original cockade too. While the name of Hermann Göring will forever be associated with the Luftwaffe (the German Air Force of the Third Reich), it is also associated with a ground unit that originated from when Hermann Göring held the position of Minister of the Interior for Prussia. Much like the Grossdeutschland formation of the German Army (Heer), this unit grew from a small detachment of men to become a panzer corps. It was but one way in which Hermann Göring sought to have the Luftwaffe assert an influence on the fighting on land as well as in the air, the others include being an integral part of blitzkrieg, the formation of the Fallschirmjäger and later in the war, the Luftwaffe Field Divisions. Guaranteed original or money back guaranteed.
