Hello everybody,
here is the HJ triangle "Ost-Ostpreussen" as desired.
I don't know if my information is correct but it seems that it was only worn from 1942. :france

Hello,

Thanks for sharing !

I remember that a few years ago, and during a long time, it was impossible for me to find the triangle "Süd Baden" (no, that's not a joke). Now I have a few... and as I still do not have this one ("Ost Ostpreussen"), I'm sure the history will repeat itself and that soon I'll have some (now that's a joke).

best regards
 
Well, I'm looking for 18 more.

They are taking me a long time find, but that's to be expected I guess.

The 'gebietsdreieck' blogsite in my signature block lists the ones that I am currently looking for.

I picked up three triangles last week.
They should be here tomorrow., I'll post some pictures when I get them.
 
Congratulations , i'll never seen this triangle before !
I'm not expert but for me : look is good ! Do you have picture of reverse ?
I think that if you are triangle-collector , and if you can have only one , for sure : that is this triangle !!

Best regards

Why ??
For me , it's the more rarest , and for you ?
Before , on this forum , there are long comments to existence or not for this triangle , but not pictures !
Now , there is this picture , but only few comment :confused1: .
Why great-collectors of triangles don't put comment ??

Hi Jean-Marie,
You're absolutely right, this triangle is one of the rarest.
Before 1942, this 'Gebiet' was 'Ost-Ostland'. The Gebietsführer was Albrecht Möller then Willi Boeckmann.
This region was the first to be invaded by Russian troops. Many documents have gone up in flames. My mother's family came from Koenigsberg
I could not add comment further because I have no more information.:closedeyes:
I collect 'HJ' since 20 years and I've never seen it in excellent condition.
I hope we will have more information in future....:hail:
Best regards

Hello,
wow again a nice one and one I haven't encoutered myself.
Hopefully one of these days, it will cross my road.
Thx for sharing

regards
 
This is one triangle that I do not have , however; I do have an Ost Ostland 1st pattern .
 
first pattern? I wasn't even aware they existed in different patterns. A pic would be welcome, so I can see it.
I'm always looking for some new ones to add to my own collection, wich I started about 2 years ago (I now have 40 different ones, but I only collect the male specimens).
Regards,
Mike
 
Wow,
one I do not have in my collection. So hope to encounter it one of these days.

I regards to your info about the date of wear, the restructure of the HJ in '39 resulted allready in the creation of the gebiete (1) Ostpreussen.
So I guess this triangle was allready in wear from sometime in 1939, so well before 1942.
But hey I can be wrong.
