The German paratroop troop is one of the combat troops of the army and forms with the hunter and the mountain hunters troop the infantry.

In 1971 the beret was introduced for armored forces, hunters and paratroopers. The badges did not have a national emblem.
In 1980 the beret was introduced for all branches of the army and the badges had the flag as a national emblem. From this point on, the first three branches of the army also wore their badges with flags. At least officially.

I found information about the company CODEBA = "Companie deutscher Baskenmützenhersteller"

"Company of German beret manufacturers"
In 1934, Mr. Küpper died and bequeathed the company to his descendants and his long-time authorized signatory, Ms. Bernhardine Zimmermann, who steered the company's fortunes through the turmoil of the Second World War and developed it into Germany's largest manufacturer of military caps. In 1960, the company began to manufacture berets for the German market in conjunction with a group of Belgian beret manufacturers and added the abbreviation "CODEBA" to the company name, which stood for "Companie deutscher beret manufacturers". In 1985 the company celebrated its 100th anniversary.
