Luftwaffe Ground Combat Badge 1942-45

"Erdkampfabzeichen der Luftwaffe"
"Erdkampfabzeichen der Luftwaffe"
The award was presented to Luftwaffe field divisions who were engaged in combat along side their comrades in the land armed forces. There were twenty-two fully equipped Luftwaffe field divisions, among them the famed and elite “Herman Göring” division, who were under the direct command of the Göring himself until July of 1944. The Divisions were controversial as many in the Wehrmacht command thought them a drain of precious resources that could have been better utilized if employed in the ever retreating Heer forces. Even though there were skeptics, it must be stated that the better trained Luftwaffe divisions gave a good account of themselves in land combat alongside their brothers at arms.
