What I found so far... the backs in the middle of appears to be a UK girl scout brownies patch. Read the item description is very detailed explaining this.

The brooch pin to the left is a Girl Scouts of America.

The yellow military stripe patch is an overseas World War II Army Duty patch

Obviously two of those are Nazi World War 2 stuff. Probably souvenir take-home stuff?
The patch is...Nazi Luftwaffe air force. The design features an Eagle and Swastika
The swastika is not the nazi swastika. It was used by the Hindu and some American Indians before the Nazis used it. Also the scouts used it and is probably a scouting item pre WWII.
Good point FortA. I wasn't paying attention now I see it isn't tilted. And the flower could represent the eight sided star which has multiple different meanings in different religions.
Such great information! Thanks so much!
