DIENSTSTELLUNGSABZEICHEN (Trade / Specialist Insignia):
Also known as “Tätigkeitsabzeichen”, these “distinguishing
specialist” or “trade” insignia were authorized for wear on the lower left
sleeve by Luftwaffe NCOs and privates who were classed as specialists, or who
served in a specialist career (Laufbahn). The system was somewhat similar to the
trade and rating system used by the Navy (also worn on the sleeve), and
considerable similarity to the system used by the Army (though the latter
service seems to have had fewer ratings, and was more sparing in its use of
them). The authorization to wear such “Dienststellungsabzeichen” was only
granted upon successfully concluded examinations at the end of special training
courses – or after transfer to a specialist position officially authorized
(according to the unit’s “Table of Organization & Equipment” – or
“T.O.&E.”) such an insignia – or, in the case of some badges, after a
specifically defined time period within the specialist’s position.
These badges were usually machine embroidered in greyish-white or
silvery-white thread directly onto a grey, or “fliegerblau” (flyer’s blue
– i.e. the Luftwaffe’s standard greyish-blue color) wool-felt backing patch.
The backing itself was usually round, and in some cases, oblong (longer in a
horizontal direction). Examples hand embroidered in aluminum bullion are usually
privately purchased pieces for wear on a dress uniform and were not officially
authorized.
NOTE: For some of these insignia, I may have more than one example and
have so indicated in this case. Please note that photos show only one example
– but the actual pieces may vary in the color shade of the backing wool, or
materials (manufacturing variations); rest assured that the item you receive
will be of equal quality in terms of condition, however, to the one pictured.
The patches are in excellent, unissued condition unless otherwise noted.
Thanks to Roger Bender’s book entitled The Luftwaffe (Bender Books, 1972), for the reference material [slightly modified] used for this introduction.

KRIEGSMARINE
(NAVY) RATING AND RANK PATCHES
These intriguing patches were worn on the left sleeve of the blue uniform, the metal version generally being the type found on the pea coat, also (less often but occasionally) on the service tunic. The patch included a gilt anchor, which indicated a Junior NCO (Petty Officer) grade, with a career rating insignia superimposed. The rating indicated the career field in which the NCO was serving. The addition of a “V” chevron below the anchor indicated a higher rank of Chief Petty Officer. The dark navy blue felt oval background (almost black) patch measures anywhere from approximately 3.5” to 3.75” from top to bottom, depending on whether or not there is a chevron beneath the anchor. The insignia itself is usually made from a stamped zinc base metal, with a gilded finish over it. The reverse has an oval metal backing plate, normally covered by a glued-on oval sheet, (various fabrics) colored deep navy blue, black, or purple-blue.

vast majority of items listed in this section are the type that were
manufactured and/or distributed at the clothing depot at Dachau.
A large amount of cloth was sent home by the GIs who liberated this camp
in late April of 1945. I have been
fortunate over the years to acquire many of the items listed here directly
from my pickers (who purchase these items from the Veterans themselves or their
families). So buy with confidence,
as these items, as well as anything I sell, is backed by my lifetime guarantee
regarding originality.
