Hello gentlemen.

I have some questions about the DJ summer cap which I hope some of you can help me with.

1. Was the dark coloured summer cap always part of the DJ summer uniform, or did it change at some point. I have seen DJ boys wearing both the dark caps, and the tan HJ style caps in different photos.

2. Did they wear the diamond badge on the front, on the side, or not at all?

3. This one is currently for sale as a DJ cap. I think it looks too blue, and might possibly be an early post war pioneers cap. But I have heard they made the DJ caps in varying shades from black to dark blue. What do you think?

I am thinking of buying the Handbook for the Hitler Jugend by Wilhelm Saris. Is that likely to help me answer these types of questions or is it all bann numbers and insignia?

Sorry for all the questions and thanks for your help.

The Saris book on H.J. is mostly Bann numbers, locations, and history and shoulder insignia. Wim has also written books on headgear, the series is "Headgear of Hitlers Germany" and is several volumes and very comprehensive covering most if not all organizations.
