Ok I found it! his Wehrmachtgefolge badge was instituted in 1. Oct. 1941 and was worn by civilians who work in organizations that supported the German Wehrmacht during World War II. It is made of a die stamped, steel base that has been bronze washed, black burnished and lacquered. The obverse features a large stylized "WG" which is above a small mobile swastika, below an eagles head and is all within a circle. The reverse features a hollow back with a well working steel pin. It measures approximately 1 1/2 inches wide. -
It is an identification badge for civilian, non-uniformed auxiliaries of the German armed forces.
It was sometimes worn by female uniformed auxiliaries as well, but this was contrary to regulations.
The badge was to be worn when abroad, both in occupied territories and in countries allied with the Reich.
It came in two sizes: A smaller badge of 2.3 cm diameter for male personnel to be worn as a lapel badge, and a larger badge of 3.5 cm diameter for female personnel to be worn as a brooch.
