order

I was wondering why, of all instruments used by the HJ and DJ, that only a couple can be clearly identified as 'HJ' today. When we do see the odd bugle or fanfare turn up on forums and dealer sites they don't usually have any HJ-specific markings. Anyway, I had a flick through the...

Tony would appear to have deserted us for some reason so rather than leaving this sub-forum as it is I thought it would be a good place to put translations from autobiographies/period books. Those of you who may not be able to read German might, I hope, find them useful. So, to start us off...

While starting my collection of district triangles, I have noted some key points that may help other collectors. First BDM triangles are more available than HJ. and secondly when trying to make a purchase decision the hardest ones to find are in this order MITTE , OST , and SUDOST after that...

Admin edit: Subsequent to this thread in 2016 a HJ-Wiki was installed on the forum. This includes a page dedicated to the HJ knife which now includes a lot of the information given by Mike below plus a load more. The aim of this thread is to show which areas need to be examined when...

Does anyone have access to information on the conventions for the RZM paper labels attached to cloth insignia etc? I'm personally never sure whether the colours you see on these labels are correct for a given item and it would be good to get some pointers on what to look for in order to aid in...

The introduction of the bronze and silver BDM achievement badges was announced in Verordnungsblatt 132 dated the 3rd of May 1934 but something that always bothered me was the fact that so few of the silver would seem to have been awarded. The numbers on all original badges I've seen up to now...

Just a few more, sorry theres not particular order as my file have been jumbled by a fumbler, oh thats me.......

The difference between Landjahr and Landdienst is most simply put as follows: Landdienst = permanent staff Landjahr = seasonal workers Landdienst The origin of what would later become the Landdienst der HJ can be traced as far back as the industrialisation of the German economy at the end of...

The purpose of the Landdienst was to work the land and to promote careers in agriculture among Germany's youth. It was tasked with making agriculture an attractive and worthwhile alternative to life in the towns and cities. Landdienst members were paid employees who worked closely with farmers...

The posts in this thread were originally part of this discussion: http://www.hj-research.com/forum/f56/reichskampf-1938-hamburg-reichsberufswettkampf-20/ It developed into a discussion which also included the 1936 badge so I thought I'd put that part of the discussion here in order to enable it...

Here's a little info on these badges. Some of it may be new to some of you. The Potsdam badge in silver was the one worn by those who had been active participants on the day. The bronze version was available for purchase by spectators/non-participants1,2 and was also sold prior to the event...

Some of you may remember a previous discussion about whether the manufacture of DJ fanfare banners was controlled by the RZM. None of us had any concrete evidence for or against at the time. I've since found information on this in a Reichsbefehl RJF: effective from the 30th of July 1937...

Some people believe that the small knives with the diamond on the scabbard were carried by DJ boys and some don't. I don't believe in them personally and I thought I'd share some timeline and general information. The only knife carried by the DJ and HJ according to regulations was the...
