White BDM climbing vest?

Was this vest available in white, and if so, what was its purpose?

fraglich, ich sehe in letzterer Zeit vieles an weisse Bekleidung
gezeigt werden. Jedoch davon ist in Vorschriften nichts zu finden.
Alles kann natürlich geplant worden sein, aber ist es nirgends
bestätigt.

Ja Wim,
es ist merkwürdig. Diese West hat auch 2 Knopfreihen statt einer.
Viellecht tauchen irgendwann Trägerfotos oder Belege für diese Weste auf.
Ich denke aber bei dieser Weste eher an eine Private Anfertigung .

Hi Wim, I think that's the jacket. Great photo, and I think it identifies this vest. Thanks for your help.

what I show is totally different. look al the lower pockets.
The white vest from post 1 does not have them

That's right, I completely overlooked it in my excitement, and in your picture it's not being worn by a Hitler Youth or BDM girl. I can only imagine that it was also worn by the youth in connection with the Olympics.

Yes, they are HJ and BDM, assigned zur Ehrendienstleistung (a honor job)!

Exactly, they were members of the BDM. The girls were up to 21 years old, and for the Olympics, high school graduates with good foreign language skills and a good demeanour were in demand.

I posted a picture a few years ago. Unfortunately you can only see the girls from the side, but you can recognise the bottom pocket. I'm still a bit annoyed that I didn't acquire a photo with a guard of honour made up of HJ boys. However, they weren't exactly cheap either. And as a rule, you only get annoyed about things you haven't bought...
