Hitler Youth Armband

[Gefreiter]

I was at an auction recently and I saw this armband amongst the militaria lots. The immediate thing that struck me was the fact that it had the initials HJ on it. I cannot ever recall or even find anywhere on the net an image of a HJ armband with initials. Does anyone know if this was ever the case.

It would seem that a combined group of HJ and BDM (League of German Girls) was set up for the purpose of aiding re-settlers.

This makes interesting reading: http://www.bdmhistory.com/research/easternaction.html

You should get in touch with the person who runs the site and put it to him/her/them.

Let us know how you get on with the research.
