Summary edit

Description
English: Page from a product catalog published in the 1930s by F.W. Assmann & Söhne, Lüdenscheid i. W.. Assmann was a factory producing buttons, orders, insignia, badges, fittings, buckles etc (German: Uniformknöpfe, Orden, Abzeichen, Beschläge, Koppelschlösser und Schnallen) as uniform accessories for various organizations in Nazi Germany.
  • Gorgets (German: Brustschilder, Ringkragen) decorated with swastika, "eagle-and-swastika", and other propagandistic symbolism for National Socialism and the Third Reich.
  • "Early German Air Force Air Traffic Control" (Luftwaffe Reichs-Luft-Aufsicht)
German Wikipedia on Luftaufsicht:
After the National Socialists seized power in Germany in 1933, the civilian air traffic administration was reorganized following the establishment of the Ministry of Aviation (German: Reichsluftfahrtministerium, RLM). Subordinate air offices were created under the ministry, which were assigned air policing tasks as air supervision, in addition to flight weather services and air radio services. The air supervision was divided into airport management for commercial airports and air supervision guards at smaller airfields. The personnel for air supervision were appointed by the air offices and were mostly taken over by the air police. From 1934, a blue-gray uniform similar to the German Air Sports Association (Deutscher Luftsportverband, DLV) was worn, and from 1935, the uniform of the Luftwaffe with a gorget bearing the inscription Reichs-Luftaufsicht. With the 1936 regulation, even small airfields now required individual approval from air supervision before departure, which had to be applied for in writing beforehand. At major airports, a flight plan could replace the application. The presence of air supervision during flight operations became mandatory. The mandatory presence and approval of air supervision, the mandatory documentation in the main flight logbook, and the obligation to use designated airfields, thereby prohibiting takeoff and landing outside of airports, were intended to ensure comprehensive surveillance of even the smallest airfields in order to prevent escape from the Reich by aircraft, particularly by Jewish citizens, circumventing the Reich flight tax. With the Air Supervision Act (Luftaufsichtsgesetz) and the subsequent implementation regulation of 1939, the powers of air supervision were further expanded. It was now authorized to issue its own regulations and enforce these regulations and instructions with direct coercion or armed force.

A gorget for members of the Reichs-Luft-Aufsicht (Reich Air Traffic Administration). The kidney-shaped silvered aluminium shield with copper-coloured appliqué (the swastika fire-gilt) and lettering. Aluminium chain. Established in 1935 to replace the Luftpolizei (air policing service), the Reichs-Luft-Aufsicht officially reported to the Luftfahrtministerium (Air Ministry) and assumed the regulation and control of airports.
  • "Reich Army Flag bearer" (Reichsheer Fahnenträger)
Gorget decorated with Wehrmachtsadler, the military version of the national "eagle-and-swastika" emblem of Nazi Germany, and other Nazi propaganda and militarist symbols: An alloy plaque is affixed at center depicting a national eagle (Reichsadler) with folded wings over an oak cluster, flanked by two Heer standards (Truppenfahne der Wehrmacht Heer), with an oak cluster at each corner.
Wilhelm Saris 2014: [...] In an addendum page to [F.W. Assmann's] catalogue the [Heer Standard bearers gorget] was shown with article-number 24680. The gorget was announced by an order from the Oberkommando des Heeres from August 4, 1936: Ringkragen und Ärmelabzeichen für Fahnen- und Standartenträger. The first gorgets were manufactured by the concern of C.E. Junckers from Berlin and later also by Hermann Aurich from Dresden. [...]
Medalbook.com/: German Army Regimental Standard Bearer Gorget. Gorgets in the army showed a special function, and thus were only worn when on duty and when performing said function. With the exception of the Regimental Standard Bearer’s Gorget and the Feldherrnhalle Gorget, all gorgets of the army have a luminous paint finish so that they could be seen in the dark. The NS design of the Regimental Standard Bearer (Regiments-Standartenträger) Gorget was introduced on August 4, 1936. It was only worn by NCOs. The shield is silver-coloured with bronze-coloured design details and a bronze-coloured chain.
The NSKK Verkehrs-Eerziehungsdienst (The NSKK Traffic Direction Service) was a branch of the NSKK that assisted the German Police in traffic control throughout the German Reich and the duties of the men in this service included traffic control, assistance to motorists with car trouble and accident assistance. The men in this service also gave out directions and traffic citations. The gorget worn by these men was introduced in 1937.
