I think this needs to be discussed .
I have only seen a few photos of HJ wearing assault badges .
Of these photos , all were home on leave from the War and were doing there duty as instructors etc. back with there old HJ home unit , but wearing Hitlerjugend uniforms .
There is the famous newsclip of the 20 boys being decorated with the Iron Cross 2nd class at Hitlers Bunker in 1945 , One of these youths is wearing an Infantry assault badge , however ; he was recalled from his SS unit at the Front , to the Fuhrerbunker to be awarded the EK2 as an HJ because he was barley 17 years old . ( common for 16 -17 year olds to volunteer for the whermacht at this age from mid 1943 onwards) .
I am highly suspect of combat awards being awarded to Hitlerjugend ...besides the most common ...War Service cross 2nd class , wound badge , the Iron Cross 2nd class and the Luftwaffe flak badge for HJ luftwaffe helpers.
Also the Luftwaffe flak service arm patch ...worn on the lower left sleeve .
I`d like Paul and Garry to chime in on this one when time permits .
