What are the differences between the Hitler Youth (male) and BDM unit numbered pennants?
Some pennants are a black colour while others are the red and white design. I do not know which refers to the different youth organisations.
Thanks.
 
Hi,

Early on, the BDM used black pennants but after 1935 they used red/white with unit number (black with unit number was then Jungmädel). The BDM style of pennant was also used in the early period by the Hitler Youth but these didn't have unit numbers. See pic below:

Here's a scan (1938) showing the Wimpel as they looked after standardisation.
