                        The only software you need is a photo editing tool, like Paintshop Pro, Photoshop or any other tool that allows you to import pictures, add text-layers resize etc.
                        Your next step is to upload your badge or picture to the internet, there are plenty of free hosting sites (personally I use Photobucket.com)
                        And there you go

                        you can always request a badge to someone else. have you seen that badge with the german helmet with a red star? i did it (in paint, it was something difficult, but the result was satisfactory for me)

                        To help you out, I'm going to explain how I made the Kriegsmarine logo, it was my first attempt, and took about 10 minutes.
                        First I did a screencapture of the kriegsmarine flag with Paint Shop Pro,
                        secondly I removed the swastika because in some countries that symbol is illegal,
                        thirt step was to add a text layer with "GB" and two other layers with "Kreigsmarine" and the digits,
                        dragging everything to the right place,
                        merge the layers to one layer,
                        resize

                        That's all there was to it
