Garry,
I'm on a stroll through older posts and I re-discovered your HJ Ausweis issued in Nov 31, membership number 90xxx in THIS thread .
Now a question arises and probably you can help here: were all HJ membership numbers Germany-wide consecutive? Meaning: did member No 1 somewhere from Bavaria joined the HJ as first and member No x-million-x-hundredthousand probably from Thuringia joined as last? The background of this question and at the moment I'm not home so I cannot check: I believe I have an Ausweis with a lower HJ membership number (48thousand or so) but he joined in April 32. Was the numbering of the HJ members done by the RJF (or a similar forerunner) or by the Gau/Gebiet by their own?
And while speaking/writing about it ... another question. Did the DJ membership number was taken into the HJ, once they joined them with sufficiant age? Or were they issued with a new number?
I know lots of questions but maybe you find a quite moment/hour to write a little essay about that topic if you know more.
