1934 Gründung der Modellsegel-Abteilung des DSV

Deutscher Segler Verband

Im Februar 1934 ist zur Förderung des Modellsegelbootsbaus und des Modellsegelns durch den Deutschen Seglerverband die Modellsegel-Abteilung ins Leben gerufen worden (siehe Zeitschrift „Die Yacht" Heft 9, 1934).

Um die Modellsegel-Abteilung in den Dienst des Aufbaus des deutschen Segelsportes und darüber hinaus in den Dienst des Schiffbaus zu stellen, sind ihr vor allem zwei wichtige Aufgaben gestellt worden:

1. Werbung für den Nachwuchs im Segelsport und im Schiffbau durch die Einführung der Jugend in die Seele des Segelsports „das Boot".
2. Forschung

Um die erste Aufgabe zu lösen, muss bei unserer Jugend im Verbande, den auch dem Marinejungvolk angehörenden Jungmannen eingesetzt werden, und zwar in der Weise, das als obligatorisches Fach der Modellbootsbau im Rahmen der jetzigen Dienstzeit eingeführt wird. Der Marinehitlerjugend muss es im Rahmen ihres Dienstes freistehen, sich an den Kursen, welche für Fortgeschrittene weiter ausgebaut würden, zu beteiligen. Aus dem Modellbootsbau wird sich das Modellsegeln entwickeln. ...

XV. MISCELLANEOUS REMARKS

(i) Marine Hitler Jugend

The Marine Hitler Jugend organisation is a branch of the wider Hitler Jugend movement and was formed in 1934 under the leadership of Admiral von Trotha. Normally, two hours were spent twice a week in reunions of all kinds, and there wa an annual camp of a fortnight's duration. The subjects discussed at these reunions, according to prisoners, were the same as those taught to sea-scouts in Great Britain and had nothing to do with politics. The Marine Hitler Jurgend flourished side by side with an organisation known as the "Marine Jungvolk" for boys of less than 14 years.

Shortly before the war the Marine Jungvolk was abolished, its members being gradually transferred to the Marine Hitler Jugend as they reached the age of 14.

The senior ranks in the Marine Hitler Jugend have a uniform similar to that worn by a German naval officer, except that they wear shoulder straps instead of gold stripes.

From intercepted correspondence it has become known that Paul Anders, recently Führer of the Marine Hitler Jugend, has committed suicide.

Great photo Cemefor , if you look at the insignia worn by the M-DJ boy on the right , it looks like he is wearing the rare pioneer insignia at the bottom of his left sleeve , however; it could also be crossed signal flags .
 
It looks as the patch is round, rather then oval. Mounted-HJ it isn't as this should be yellow.
Nor there is a signal (the Blitz) symbol.
So, in my opinion remains the pioneer patch with Spaten and Hacke. Do not know for sure,
as the photograph is not clear enough to see that.

By the way: great photo Henrik.

Looks to me like the 'Signallaufbahn' patch.

Maybe Henrik can make a close-up from the patch. It looks as the one symbol
is not square but runs into a tip?

Sorry, but this is the best I can do.
