Luftwaffe Badges

[trexco]

I was just reading Bender's book entitled "The Luftwaffe" and he described and in some cases showed photos of certain badges I have never seen or ever heard of: Luftwaffe Aircrew badge, Luftwaffe Pilot's badge for civilian, Luftwaffe numbered ground combat badge( with numbers 25,50,75,100),Luftwaffe numbered tank badge( with numbers 25,50,75,100) ,Luftwaffe sea battle badge and Luftwaffe close combat badge( in 3 classes).Do these Luftwaffe badges really exist and can anyone post photos on the site?Thanks for your help.Malcolm

At least the following does not exist as pre 1945 manufacture, some specimes might be there but I do not believe in any single badge actually awarded.

Luftwaffe numbered ground combat badge( with numbers 25,50,75,100),
Luftwaffe numbered tank badge( with numbers 25,50,75,100) ,
