Are the men sitting one row up Hitlerjugendführer's? Young man in the top row right has an arrow. What is that for? Photo was taken at a youth camp in August 1933. Thanks

The men with the headgear are from the Reichskuratorium für Jugendertüchtigung.
The boys are from various youth organizations.
The rank or function for the Reichskuratorium is seen at their collars.

Thank you very much Wilhelm!

Hi Wim,

not doubting your expertise and maybe I make a fool of myself, but why can't the men with visor not be of the Stahlhelmbund?

What are these sports-shirt boys with the "U" at their chest?

The boy at the very top right seems to wear a MHJ Kolani.

The Reichskuratorium trained young men from all kinds of organizations,
as you can see with the photo. The RKJ was a training-course for catholics,
evangelics, communists, nazis, Stahlhelm or whatever.

The Stahlhelmbund did not wear these tunics with these rank/function indication,
but the tunics were later worn by the SA-Ausbildungswesen (and also the NSKK).
The headgear is not in accordance to any Stahlhelm-regulation.

The Stahlhelm-organization was a big supporter of the Reichskuratorium. They
already did send members and their youngsters to RKJ training in 1932.

In the American magazine "Military Advisor" from winter 2009/2010 an extensive
article was being published, written by a friend. All material for the article came
from my files and was handed over to him. I edited the article with over eight
pages.
