Re: Italian Pilot's Badge
IMHO, "Assi" Hahn wore that Regia Aeronautica's pilot badge either because he had exchaged it with an Italian pilot of the Corpo Aereo Italiano based in Belgium during the second half of 1940, or he was offered with one when visiting one of such units.
A third possibility could be that Hahn spent some time in Italy before the war (several dozens of Luftwaffe pilots effected flying courses in Italy by that time) and obtained the eagle there. Wearing two pilot badges certainly was peculiar, but not so inexplicable, I guess...
