HJ Sonderstempel - HJ Sommerlager der Banne 572-577 at Walchsee 1940

An unusual HJ Sonderstempel from a smaller place and named to specific HJ unit. This one is for the HJ Sommerlager der Banne 572-577 held at Walchsee. No specific date is given for the event but the Sonderstempel is datded August 24, 1940.

Perhaps a comment regarding the size of Sonderstempel is appropriate. I failed to mention size earlier in this this thread so here it is now. Most Sonderstempels are rather large being from 34mm to 36mm in diameter. It is difficult not to notice one unless one is vision impaired.

Really nice focused collecting:clap2:

how long has it taken to aquire all these ........

Steve


Hello Steve,

Thanks for your comment. You asked how long has it taken me to aquire all the Sonderstempel. Well, I have been interested in and collected Third Reich items since the late 1960's. Initially I collected daggers primarily but also did badges, SS items, Hunting Association, and several other things with the exception uniforms, helmets, visor caps and field gear.

I sold most of the items in my collection in the late 1980's but still have a few badges, pins, etc. The Sonderstempel I've collected around 40 years or so and have a fairly large collection of them and not just those associated with the HJ/DJ/BDM/etc. I also have a fair collection of Third Reich coins.

I hope this answers you question.
 
Yes, thanks:thumb:

As a new collector (4-5 years) i often wonder how many years it takes to track down and amass a collection like yours,

Cheers .........Steve

Hi Steve,

Actually internet has been both a tremendous aid and means of finding Sonderstempel. Acquisition of items was much more difficult and time consuming prior to the advent of computers and internet.

I might add collecting the Sonderstempel of the Third Reich remains very affordable today even for a collector of modest means. Even those which are rare are not outrageous in price providing one can locate them to purchase.

Best Regards,

Robert
 
As you can see I have a cancel for a H.J camp in Obersdorf date 20 July 1937. Can you tell me how many camps were set up for the HJ that year.
Thanks

These special post office ink stamps were used for advertising events like this. The ink stamp doesn't mean that the Sachsenlager was being held in Oberstdorf. That's just where your letter/postcard was posted. It seems the Sachsenlager was held in Norderney that year as posted here:

Sachsenlager der HJ 1937. Where was this HJ camp held?
