I just picked up a large group of insignia and souvenirs from a US soldier that served with HQ AFCE (Allied Forces Central Europe) in the 1980s. The lot included these Brustanhänger and beret badges. If anyone could help ID the items with the letters next to them I would be grateful. The Brustanhänger "E" has some lettering which is not visible because of the photo flash. It reads "Heimat Schutz - KP - 3232". Thanks in advance for your help. Just so you readers can know too, the bottom left Brustanhänger is for the Belgian Nike Missile Squadron 51 of the 11th Missile Wing. The one on the bottom right is for HQ AFCE and was worn only by US and Allied soldiers assigned to the Headquarters.

Originally posted by RamJet View PostThe Lourdes item could be worn for the time of a Soldatenwallfahrt (soldier's pilgrimage) of Bundeswehr personnel to Lourdes. Don't know, just a guess, as I never participated on such a Wallfahrt which takes place frequently, as far as I know. Should be an unofficial badge.
Cheers,
Philipp
