Merger proposal[edit]

I propose that Uniforms and insignia of the Luftwaffe be merged into Military Ranks of the Luftwaffe (1935–1945). I think that the content in the Uniforms and insignia of the Luftwaffe article can easily be explained in the context of Military Ranks of the Luftwaffe (1935–1945). Currently this article is named incorrectly as it refers to the Luftwaffe without specifying the period. Secondly ranks and uniforms are by necessity mutually self explanatory. There is no need for two articles. I notice the page on ranks has been copy-pasted to this one, making it even more imperative that one either needs to be renamed or more simply moved to the other. 109.150.237.151 (talk) 13:45, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

War badges[edit]

Preserving here by providing this link; my rationale was: "badges are not part of ranks and insignia]. These are meritorious badges that had to be earned. --K.e.coffman (talk) 23:20, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
