    Correct wear of DAK cuff titles?

    What was the correct wear of Afrika cuff titles for Luft personnel? Did they wear the standard Afrikacorps cuff title and then the brown Afrika cuff or blue? Is there any case where the Afrikacorps and Afrika cuff were worn together?

      I believe they wore the Blue AFRIKA cuff while there and the regular brown AFRIKA one afterward. ( but keep checking, I am no 'expert' )

        They wore the blue Luftwaffe title which was a formation sign. (The Afrikakorps title was a Heer formation sign and was not worn.) Remember the Afrika with palms title was an award.

        Cheers, Ade.

          I have seen a couple of photos (one is in John H's DAK FJ book) where they wore the Heer Afrikakorps CT, but by rare exception. As others mentioned the blue Afrika was worn while in Afrika. Both of these were worn on the right sleeve. The Afrika with the palms was a campaign award; so since it was not awarded until after the campaign was over, it is unlikely you would see it worn with one of the others. It was worn on the left sleeve, like other campaign CTs.
