I handed over a bunch of "junkue" that I have collected over the years to my boys today. I can recall where I obtained the badges and patch from. I am pretty sure the badges are German. Do these go on the button of a chest pocket on a uniform? Anyone able to identify what these are? Thanks in advance.




 
From left to right, like reading a book...

1)
2)
3) German Armed Forces Pocket Badge, District Defense Command 652
4)
5) German a Armed Forces Pocket Badge, Area Defense Command 64
6) US Military, 303rd Military Intelligence Battalion Unit Crest (Primi Noscere)
7) German Airborne Infantry Pocket Badge Airborne Anti Tank Battalion 272
8)
9) US Army 150th Combat Engineer Battalion crest
10) US ARMY 326th Engineer Battalion Unit Crest (Nostrum Est)

Not sure about the second picture.

The top left badge looks Finnish to me and the one next to it looks like a badge for a SPAA unit - perhaps a Gepard. Might be a stylized mountain in front of it.
 
OK looked a bit like a Finnish lion when I glanced at it but if its a bear it could refer to Berlin. I believe Berlin uses a bear in their Coat of Arms but I could be wrong. Its been along time.
 
To me it looks similar to the Finnish lion sans sword and scimitar. Can't tell if it has a crown on its head. The Finnish lion does. Also the shape of the crest is similar to Finnish badges I have seen.

But given that the rest seem to be German or associated with Germany, I suspect you're correct in assuming it German not Finnish.
