The German armed forces and political organizations during WWII awarded a wide array of stick pins to their members. In some cases,
primarily for the military organizations, the stick pins were a small representation of a larger award. For example, a pilot's badge
would be issued in a box with a stick pin. The large badge was used with a regular military uniform. The stick pin was generally
used with civilian clothes at parties, rallies and such events.
Following is a pictorial guide of a large collection of the some of the stickpins that were used by Nazi
Germany during WWII.
