Great documents Mike!

After 5 months returned to Tessin and took command of a Gefolgschaft

Here's some detail Mike:

Post 11:

Temporary suspension of Hitler Youth membership effective from 17.9.44 to permit service in the armed forces.

Certificate showing award of the HJ achievement badge (silver) serial number 649958 on 6.10.44

Certificate showing award of the HJ achievement badge (bronze) serial number 207905 on 28.4.43

Certificate signed by the battery commander confirming Schmidt's service as a Marinehelfer from 25.10.43 to 25.3.44

Confirmation that Schmidt has been deregistered as a ration card holder (from 13.10.44 effective on 15.10.44). The 15th would have marked the date when he went onto the armed forces ration roll.

Post 13:

HJ Leader ID showing promotions from Jungenschaftsführer (20.4.40), Jungzugführer (30.1.42) and to Oberjungzugführer (20.1.43). His DJ achievement badge number 64785 is also shown as is his HJ membership number 3750158 and the HJ achievement bronze serial number 207905). He was a member of Gefolgschaft 12 within Bann 757 Rostock-Land and lived in Tessin.

You also have his standard HJ ID card there.
