As I mentioned, Bann 945 consisted of HJ, DJ, BDM and JM and was essentially a normal Bann albeit with a core task and being adminstered under challenging circumstances. I think it would have had a Motor-HJ etc. I can't prove that yet but if we put our minds to it I'm sure we can

Hello and thank you for these interesting thoughts. It is certain that this Bann was looking to train technicians .Indeed after more precise observation it is rather white which would be logical. As for the Hj motor, it is pink and not red but the photo looks bad, I will try to make another one ;
It's good to find a topic of discussion!!

That's what the forum is there for, to have discussions and clarify things.

Interesting topic, indeed. Thanks for the clarification, Garry. I had read somewhere that this Bann 945 only covered the Reichswerke. Obviously that's not true. Good that you have the source to prove it.
This Bann also lasted until the end of the war, as this document, which I've posted before, shows.
At the same time, it also shows the special significance of this Bann.


You're right, Bertrand, that's the Motor-HJ in colour .

This one is different because it's not cotton but velvet, and the reverse is cotton, but of very fine quality.

One theory suggests these shoulderboards were reserved for the Streifendienst (from 1942).
The piping on one has been replaced manually, while the other is original with the red number and white piping.

That's a nice example, and do you have better pictures of the board?

These two are also great examples, and I think I've heard that this white piping with a red number was worn by fire brigade units.

I will try with another device as soon as I have the opportunity.
