WW2 German Luftwaffe Flak Artillery Collar Tab for Enlisted/NCO
This original WW2 German Luftwaffe Flak collar tab was worn by enlisted personnel and non-commissioned officers (NCOs) serving in the Luftwaffe’s anti-aircraft (Flak) artillery units. It features a vibrant red wool backing, which was the official branch color (Waffenfarbe) for Flak units, and is adorned with intricate silver bullion piping that indicates it was issued to enlisted ranks up to Feldwebel (Sergeant). Officers’ collar tabs would have featured more elaborate bullion embroidery, distinguishing them from those of lower ranks.
Flak units were a crucial component of the German air defense system during WW2, tasked with protecting cities, military installations, and strategic industrial targets from Allied bombing raids. These units were equipped with a range of anti-aircraft weaponry, most notably the famous 8.8cm Flak 36 gun, which proved effective not only against aircraft but also against enemy armor on the battlefield. Luftwaffe Flak troops played a significant role in defending Germany against the growing Allied air superiority in the later years of the war.
This collar tab appears to have been removed from a uniform. The bullion trim remains intact but shows minor fraying, indicative of use. This is a fine collectible piece for those interested in Luftwaffe insignia, WW2 German uniforms, and military history.
