Polish Metal Parachute Trained qualification badge with combat jump wreath

The attacking eagle badge ,diving with its talons extended was called the Znak Spadochronowy—the paratrooper’s badge. The idea for such a badge was conceived in June 1941.

This Polish Paratroopers badge was worn by parachute trained soldiers of the 1st Polish Independent Parachute brigade which was formed in 1941 and trained at Ringway Manchester and then in Upper Largo Scotland.
