I have this photo of HJ-leader Willi Blomquist when he served as an officer in the Wehrmacht Heer. I know he was Gebietsführer for Gebiet 8, Niedersachsen, and had a very low HJ membership number (325). Also that he became Obergebietsführer at some time. But that´s all, so I would appreciate if someone can give me some more information about his career.

Thank you very much! That´s great, but I have found out that he was born in Stuttgart, not Stallgard.
 
Here is another photo with Blomquist. It is obviously in connection with a balloon flight. I assume it is with personnel from the NSFK.

Willi Blomquist as an army officer wearing his golden HJ badge.According to a statement by Arthur Axmann in Nuremberg in 1947, Blomquist belonged to the SS-Division Hitlerjugend in 1945."Hiermit erklaere ich eidenstattlich, das Willi Blomquist auf grund einer vereinbarung zwischen dem Oberkommando des Heeres und der Reichsjugendführung im April 1945 vom Heer zur SS-Division Hitlerjugend ueberstellt worden ist."

You're right, I've just double-checked that with the Historisches Ortslexikon. There was no settlement with the name Stallgard (the name would be conceivable, especially in Pommern/Pomerania), so it must be an annoying typo.
 
I did not find his name in the list of officers in Hubert Meyer's book "12 SS Panzer-division"

According to information from Axmann, Willi Blomquist was transferred to the Hiterjugend Division in April 1945. That was in the final stages of the war. That might explain why there is no other information about it. It could also be that Axmann provided incorrect information.
