The Balloon Observer's Badge (German Ballonbeobachterabzeichen) was an award in the Third Reich. It was awarded to recognize the service of officers and men who risked their lives, flying 300–500 ft above the ground in a gas balloon, which were easy targets for Allied pilots. Due to its late introduction, only a very small number were awarded. The badge was designed by Elmar Lang who claimed he had the prototype and the badge was never put into production. His claim forms the basis of doubt about the originality of badges which have appeared on the collector's market since the 1960s.
