Jungbann 201 Herbert Norkus

Interesting to see the close-up of the plaque (post 11) which can also be seen in the first pic in post 17.
 
I noticed that as well Garry. I have been buying some period books on Norkus lately, and will scan some additional photos when I get a chance.
 
More information on my favorite HJ Bann. Look at the Jungbannfahne, the holy grail of HJ to me. I'd eat top ramen for a year to have it.

Jungbann 1/201 dates to pre-1936. Actually the history of that Bann is quite interesting. Bann 201 was the direct descendant of Artur Axmann's Gefolgschaft 1 in Beusselkietz which took on Herbert Norkus' Kameradschaft Hansa-Beusselkietz in 1929. In 1938/39 the Bann name changed to Bann 'Herbert Norkus'.

which publication was the photo of Norkus dead taken from?

I uploaded that many, many years ago and unfortunately I can't remember where I found it. I'll go through my books just in case I got it from one of them and will let you know.

The first photo of Norkus comes from a 1936 publication called "Unsterbliche Gefolgschaft":
