Hello
Does anybody know what this insignia is?
I have looked everywhere.
Thank you
Tony

Not sure of the country of origin, but the jagged arrows were used in the insignia of various countries to indicate a radio operator or similar position. Going on the wings, I'm going to guess it relates to some aspect of a country's air force. The 'H.H.A' may hold the key to figuring out exactly what it is. Whatever it is, I'm sure it isn't German. It might not even be Axis. A very odd piece!

The central shield is very similiar to the coat-of-arms of the city of Hamburg (with the two towers replaced by the two "H"s and the gate replaced by the "A").
I'm pretty sure there is a connection to that city and that one "H" of the acronym stands for "Hamburg".
Wings and bundles of lightning bolts were also often used as symbols in connection with electrified streetcars and railways; perhaps it is a cap badge from a public transport operator?
Hah; found it!
It's the logo for the "Hamburger Hochbahn AG" (HHA):

Hello
Thank you so much
You guys are amazing.
Here are the other insignia that came with it.
I thought they were Reichsbahn collar insignia
Thanks again
Tony
The bottom badge is of the design as used as a collar patch device by the Reichsbahn from 1935 to 1941. (The 1935 model came in 70 mm and 58 mm sizes for two different collar patch sizes depending on the garment on which they were worn. In 1936, this was standardized to a new 45 mm size.)
The top one is a typical collar patch device for Tram personnel.
