Hi Jan, they made various war badges too.
Credit to my friend Marc on this:
The company of Gustav Brehmer was founded in 1871 in the town of Markneukirchen
in Saxony and became one of the premier manufacturers of war badges during the Third
Reich. Interestingly, Karl Wurster, owner of another major war badge manufacturer
during the Third Reich began his career working for Brehmer until he eventually opened
his own factory some 100 meters from Brehmer after leaving in 1912. The craftsmen at
Brehmer produced some of the highest quality badges for the Luftwaffe and Heer
including the numbered Panzer Assault Badge (PAB) and numbered General Assault
Badge (GAB), but was perhaps most well-known for their stunning Luftwaffe Flak
Badges. Until recently it was not known that Brehmer also produced a Heeres-Flak
Badge for the German Army. Brehmer manufactured Heeres-Flak Badges in both
Tombak and Feinzinc.
