It was designed by Wilhelm Ernst Peekhaus and was awarded after servicemen earned 16 points (destroying an enemy aircraft - 4 points, aiding the destruction of an enemy aircraft - 2 points, radar detection of an enemy aircraft - 1 point, searchlight detection of an enemy aircraft - 1 point). Notably, as opposed to the Army Flak Badge, 1 point was awarded for the destruction of ground targets. The Luftwaffe Flak badge could also be awarded for an act of merit or bravery in the performance of anti-aircraft duties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46118750585109,"sku":"G25387","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/d_2202.jpg?v=1692863713","url":"https:\/\/www.emedals.com\/products\/an-early-luftwaffe-flak-badge-g25387","provider":"eMedals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
