question about Luftwaffe bracelet

Post by rammsander »

hello all,

I'm come from the Netherlands and my English is not too good. :oops:
I hope you understand!
I have a bracelet bought of the Luftwaffe. (see photo)
But now the question is what kind of bracelet?
where is it used for? I hope you can understand and maybe help with my question! =D

Not being a luftwaffe aficionado I notice the eagle is going in the opposite direction to the one used on the chest of a tunic.
Is this because of the type of troops/personel or the organisation involved? The swastika is correct/normal way around, just the eagle is flying 'home'. Ideas?
