Summary[edit]

Description
English: Photo portrait of a Hitler Youth member in Nazi Germany, dressed in a paramilitary summer uniform:
  • Black side cap with the national "eagle-and-swastika" emblem, brown blouse with buttoned pleated patch pockets on chest, and black neckerchief (scarf) with brown leather woggle (slide knot)
    • Oberkameradschaftsführer (Senior Comrade Unit Leader) rank insignia on shoulder straps and lanyard (Führerschnur)
    • Bann ("troop") number 560 (15-06-38 So-St Voitsberg])
    • Austrian Edelweiss insignia on right collar
    • Arm badge on right sleeve for a standard-bearer of an HJ Bann (silver wire on black)
    • Motor-HJ sleeve badge (Motor-HJ-Armscheibe, Ärmelabzeichen für die Motor-HJ, 14–18-jährige Jungen)
    • Hitlerjugend-Leistungsabzeichen (Stiftungsjahr 1934)
    • Saris, Wilhelm P. B. R: Handbook of the Hitler-Jugend : Bann numbers and Gebiet triangles (2009): (...) assortment of insignia being worn. The number “560” is visible being “Voitsberg” from the “Steiermark” district on an Oberkameradschaftsführer shoulder strap. The button for the shoulder strap clearly has the “1” for Gefolgschaft 1. The boy, a Führer einer Gefolgschaft, wears a flag-bearer’s patch on the upper right sleeve which also carries the number “560.” The gorget and this special arm patch for Träger der Bahnfahne were officially announced on July 22, 1938. The Motor-HJ-Armscheibe is worn on the lower left sleeve. The Edelweiss flower for the Austrian “Ostmark” is on the right collar of his brownshirt. This insignia was introduced on June 16, 1939 and worn by all members of Obergebiet “Südost.” Also note the piped black field cap with “pinched” eagle emblem and two small embossed, aluminum NSKK buttons on the lower front of the cap.

    • Swastika armband (Hakenkreuzarmbinde), a cloth brassard designed similar to the HJ flag with a white stripe and a black mobile swastika on a white square diamond, all set on a red background
  • The Hitler Youth (German: Hitlerjugend, HJ) was the paramilitary youth organisation of the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Germany, founded in 1922. From 1936 until 1945, it was the sole official boys' youth organisation in Nazi Germany (the Third Reich, Drittes Reich). HJ was composed of the Hitler Youth proper for male youths aged 14 to 18, and the German Youngsters in the Hitler Youth (Deutsches Jungvolk in der Hitler Jugend, DJ or DJV) for younger boys aged 10 to 14.
