well-known photo, but always great to see it again!

Indeed, Wim. It's from the "Glückliche Jugend" series.
Maybe you also know this photo - from the Adolf-Hitler-Marsch 1937, München.
Of course, without the accessories that were introduced later.
Press photo by a Cologne photographer.

I could not remember the publication. I did not include the photo in my book about gorgets
as I had others that were my intention to show.

 

[Jack]

I have now seen that you also use a section of the first picture in your HJ book and that the 37X is exactly 379 - Reichenbach.

How many gorgets did every bann have

Good morning Jack,

Thank you for posting that photo. Fantastic close up's of uniforms,insignia etc.

Best regards....Ewan

How many gorgets did every bann have

Only one. And this one always remained in the custody of the Bann leadership and was always handed over to the bearer together with the Bann flag on the respective occasion.


Thanks Ewan. Nice to see you actively posting here again. I hope things are going well for you.

I do not know what you mean here Jack. Is there a page-number?

 

[Jack]

I was not quite sure which Bann number was visible on the one Silesian flag, 3-7-and another digit. Therefore the X, because there are several Silesian Banne with 37...

On page 616 you also have a detail of this picture, and you can see that it must certainly be Bann 379 - Reichenbach.

 

[wilhelm saris]

now I see what you mean. Yes, I just used a part of the photo.
I often crop a photo for use.
