march

Was looking through a mid-1935 copy of the BDM magazine 'Das deutsche Mädel' today and came across a little section containing a couple of letters from BDM members in Madrid and Shanghai who were corresponding with BDM back in the Reich. Thought it might be of interest to some of you so I...

Does anyone have one of these Gesundheitsdienst medical/first aid cases or colour pics of one? I don't know exactly when it was introduced but in the March 1939 issue of 'Das deutsche Mädel' it sounds as if the introduction was recent at that point.

This arm diamond is unknown to me. It's the same style and shape as the arm diamonds used by students from the Fliegertechnische Vorschulen and the Luftwaffenmusikschule in Sondershausen. Luftwaffen= übungsplatz Malacky Malacky is a town and municipality in western Slovakia around 35 km...

Tony would appear to have deserted us for some reason so rather than leaving this sub-forum as it is I thought it would be a good place to put translations from autobiographies/period books. Those of you who may not be able to read German might, I hope, find them useful. So, to start us off...

Looking through some books, and even on films, I've seen some flags that I'm curious about. Other than the standard HJ flag (Red/White with Swas in middle) and the black DJ Rune Flag, I've seen ones that have a eagle across them. They look like they would be red/white in color. One book shows...

Most of you have seen the Late War German propaganda Newsreel clip of the Iron Cross awards presentation at the Fuhrerbunker on 20 March 1945. ( I am not that computer savvy , so if someone can input the film clip from Utube to this thread it would be greatly appreciated ). I have always...

The post-1939 appointment system used by the HJ and DJ can be a little confusing so here's a small 'ready reference'. You can split the TR period into 2 parts for lanyards: 1933 to 1939 - Lanyards denoted rank only. 1939 to 1945 - Lanyards denoted appointment*. *BDM and JM lanyards were...
