had seen this before, but it is rare.
It is from Ernst Szabo from Austria.

He seems quite young. I also wondered why he has so much decorations.
Where would he have been in action!

he is indeed!He really does look very young.
It’s amazing what these young people achieved—yet today, they whine if they have to pick up a shovel.
It looks like he’s wearing an SS belt buckle.

Great photo. Young chap who saw plenty of fighting. The CT is a new one on me and I don't see anything about it in the regulations. My guess would be that due to his wounds he was seconded to the training staff at a Gebietsführerschule.

I took a close look at the cuff title. I am certain that it doesn't say "HJ". The first letter before the "J" is either a "B" or an "E".
Furthermore, he wears the SS-Police badge below the right breast pocket. The photo turns a few things on their head.

Yes, definitely not "H". This one is bugging me now
Perhaps the J stands for Junker and he is teaching at an SS leadership school? Even if that is true what the hell is that first letter?
Could the first letter be an R - so it says:
R J FÜHRERSCHULE
If it's an R it could be a sleeveband from
ReichJugend Führerschule - see picture of text.
Try looking closer at the picture and see if you see the same thing as I do.

That does make sense Michael. I'll have to see if I can find a reference to a CT like this in the leadership training orders.
Edit: all they say is that students at the academy wore the shoulder straps and sleeve triangle of their home Bann. The guy in the photo may well have been an instructor then. Sadly nothing in the orders about their uniforms...

Thanks for the great resolution of the first letter. It looks like a 'B' to me, too.
Now the question is whether it actually has anything to do with the youth organization or belongs to a different group.
Nothing comes to mind right now for "BJ".

Let's keep digging The letter I was sometimes written as J so I was thinking about whether we are looking at BI-Führerschule?
Führerschule des Bundes der Ingenieure:
from Wikipedia:
Mit dem Begriff „Führerschule des Bundes der Ingenieure“ bzw. „Führerschule für Ingenieure und Techniker“ ist historisch meist die Reichsschule der deutschen Technik gemeint. Diese zentrale Schulungseinrichtung wurde während der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus vom NS-Bund Deutscher Technik (NSBDT) (der staatlich gleichgeschalteten Organisation für Ingenieure und Techniker) betrieben. [1, 2, 3]
Die wichtigsten Fakten zu dieser Einrichtung im Überblick:
Standort: Die Reichsschule war ab Dezember 1937 auf der geschichtsträchtigen Plassenburg oberhalb von Kulmbach in Oberfranken untergebracht. [1, 2]
Zielsetzung: Unter der Ägide von Fritz Todt (dem Generalinspekteur für das deutsche Straßenwesen) diente die Schule dazu, die im NS-Regime oft als „unpolitisch“ geltenden Ingenieure, Architekten und Techniker im Sinne der nationalsozialistischen Ideologie zu politisieren und weltanschaulich zu schulen. [1, 2, 3]
Inhalte: In zweiwöchigen Lehrgängen wurden fachübergreifende Ansätze vermittelt, um Großprojekte ganzheitlich anzugehen. Dies wurde eng mit Mammutprojekten des Regimes verzahnt, wie dem Bau der Reichsautobahnen und den späteren Festungsbauten der Organisation Todt. [1, 2, 3]
Ende: Mit dem Kontrollratsgesetz Nr. 2 wurde der NSBDT nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg im Oktober 1945 verboten und die Organisationen sowie deren Schulen aufgelöst.
The term "Leaders' School of the Association of Engineers" (or "Leaders' School for Engineers and Technicians") historically refers to the *Reichsschule der deutschen Technik* (Reich School of German Technology). This central training facility was operated during the National Socialist era by the NSBDT (*NS-Bund Deutscher Technik* / National Socialist League of German Technology)—the state-aligned organization for engineers and technicians. [1, 2, 3]
An overview of the key facts regarding this institution:
Location: From December 1937, the Reich School was housed at the historic Plassenburg Castle, situated above the town of Kulmbach in Upper Franconia. [1, 2]
Objective: Under the leadership of Fritz Todt (Inspector General for German Road Construction), the school aimed to politicize engineers, architects, and technicians—groups often regarded as "apolitical" within the Nazi regime—and to provide them with ideological training aligned with National Socialist doctrine. [1, 2, 3]
Curriculum: Two-week courses taught interdisciplinary approaches to the holistic management of large-scale projects. This training was closely integrated with the regime's mammoth projects, such as the construction of the *Reichsautobahnen* (national motorways) and the later fortification works undertaken by the Organization Todt. [1, 2, 3]
Closure: Following World War II, the NSBDT was banned in October 1945 under Control Council Law No. 2, resulting in the dissolution of the organization and its associated schools.
