The number of operational sorties could be reduced to only one if the recipient had been injured.
If an individual had been issued the Luftwaffe Pilot Badge and the Observer Badge, they were eligible to receive the Combined Pilot/Observer Badge.
The badge was approved on November 27, 1935, but was not officially issued until March 26, 1936.
