    Default Polish Para Badges

    Hi all, could someone educate me on the various para badges that were issued to the Polish airborne forces during the war? What types did they issue and what were the qualifications for each badge.

    Any pictures would be fantastic!

    Thanks so much!

    Hello Greg,

    Welcome to the Forum, there was just one qualification badge issued during WW2, the recipients gained the Wreath for a Combat jump which the Polish Parachute Brigade did at Arnhem.

    No doubt some of the Forum members with more knowledge than myself on the Parachute Brigade Badge will be able to add more.

    There was also a glider Badge awarded

    If you wish to know more then the Book by Kpt.Jan Lorys on the History of the Polish Parachute Badge is indeed highly recommended.

    Best wishes

    And once again Greg welcome to the Forum.
