History


The NSFK (Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps = National Socialist Flyers Corps) was originally established in January of 1932. However, in March of 1933, the NSFK was, together with all other air sports organisations, absorbed into the newly founded DLV (Deutscher Luftsportverband = German Air Sports Association), an organisation that was used as a means to secretly rebuild the German air force under the guise of a civilian association. After the Luftwaffe was officially unveiled in 1935, the DLV was dissolved in 1937. On April 17, 1937, the NSFK was re-established as a civilian and paramilitary air sports organisation.

The NSFK’s mission was to provide the means for (young) Germans to pursue an interest in flying, and thus to secure new blood for the Luftwaffe. For this reason, the organisation worked closely with the aviation sub-section of the Hitler Youth.
Membership in the NSFK was on a voluntary basis. Members were forbidden from holding simultaneous SA, SS, or NSKK membership.
NSFK aviation training was no substitute for training in the Luftwaffe if a member decided to join the military. Since Luftwaffe planes were motorised without exception, the NSFK was the only organisation to teach its members how to fly gliders and hot air balloons.

The NSFK Dress Brocade Belt Buckle is oval-shaped and silver-coloured. It features a wreath along the entire circumference, with a gilt NSFK emblem in the centre.

The reverse buckle has a buckle catch, as well as a prongs bar with two claws/prongs.

The brocade belt strap is composed of a blue-grey backing material, and it is primarily made from ribbed aluminum thread, with two thin, parallel blue-grey stripes and a red "zig-zag" stripe down the centre.
This belt strap is among the rarest brocade belt straps produced.
