Hi everyone,
I am starting to build a Flakhelfer mannequin.
So far I have the Bluse and the helmet.
Recently I added the Luftwaffe belt and buckle and HJ Leistungsabzeichen (not pictured yet).
Currently on the way is the LH-breast eagle, HJ armband and shoulder boards.
Stay tuned :)

To me this looks like a HJ winteruniform, but note the Luftwaffe eagle on right sleeve, and Luftwaffe buckle.
Can someone ID this uniform?

Hello,
Some pictures of the same Militärschüler. He belongs to the Fl. Techn. Vorschule Bremen-Oslebshausen, before entering in the Luftwaffe as a Fliegertechnisches Personals der Fliegertruppe. See also the Abzeichen für Angestellte u. Arbeiter der Luftwaffe on his left breast pocket.
I got this one on ebay last week , I have only seen this style worn by HJ members that attended Luftwaffe Technical Schools .

I was really happy to find an issued example of these. I've seen a lot of the mint unissued ones, but this was has been there.
Hi All,
I know that the HJ wore every type of helmet. But, do you have any records or pictures of HJ Flakhelfer wearing the M35 Helmet from the Luftwaffe?
Was normally the M40 in Wear?
Thanks in advance

I just lucked into this. It was in a box full of expensive fotos. I think I have some HJ fotos in the lot. I also have a letter from HJ HQ concerning the drafting of a member into the Luftwaffe. I will post it, too if anybody wants to see it. What are these Ausweisen worth?
From HJ to Luftwaffe NCO, probably in a Grenadierregiment in Division Hermann Göring (Waffenfarbe = white).
