Robert Noss Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 After some hard negotiations I finally got 9 albums with 1304 photos of a member of the Hitlerjugend.Before I post some photos here, I would like to tell a bit of the story.The albums come from another collector. He has got them from the family of Achim von Tippelskirch.Now Achim von Tippelskirch was the nephew of Kurt von Tippelskirch. General and Oak-Leaf Owner.His father ( the brother of Kurt v.T.) was an airforce general. I would like to find out a bit more about the Tippelskirch family. Some more information about the airforce general.Kurt von Tippelskirch survived the war and wrote a book about the 2nd WW in the 50ties.But I have not much information about his brother and the rest of the family.These 9 albums have some outstanding photos. They start about 1934 with early HJ pictures. The majority of the photos is between 1936 and 1938. Many HJ-camps, travels in germany and italy. Normal duty and so on. They end in 1941, when Achim v.T. was a Leutnant in the artillery branch and was in russia.1.) Young Achim v.T. sitting on the shoulders of a younger comrad.2.) Some early HJ-Leaders3.) Leader of a HJ-school, name was HALLERContinued ....

Kev in Deva Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Hallo Robert Some great pictures, thanks for posting, easy to see how the youth of Germany was duped into following the flag with all its Propaganda, I wonder how many of these youngsters died following the flag, I would imagine only a small percentage of them survived the war. Kevin in Deva
Robert Noss Posted October 7, 2006 Author Posted October 7, 2006 45.) In poland with his father, the description in the album tells us, that this was his father's airplane and he took the opportunity to take a flight over Warszaw. It is a french Caudron 440.47.) His father again, together with a hungarian officer48.) Last photo shows Achim as a LeutnantNow You have seen 48 photos out of 1304. Maybe You can imagine the quality of this lot.Personally I think it is the best photographic material that I have ever seen from the HJ.At least it is for me.Maybe somebody can help me out with some more infos about this family.Kind regardsRobert
Rosenberg Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Thanks alot for sharing!!!I agree most outstanding pictures,Italy and the trumpets are amazing!
BURGERHAUS Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 [attachmentid=56297][attachmentid=56298]Fantastic photos. I noticed the cap badge in photo 25. I have what I always assumed to be an HJ knife diamond but perhaps it is a cap badge?
Kev in Deva Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 [attachmentid=56297][attachmentid=56298]Fantastic photos. I noticed the cap badge in photo 25. I have what I always assumed to be an HJ knife diamond but perhaps it is a cap badge?Hallo BURGHAUS with regards the cap badge on picture 25 do you think he is wearing the same badge as well on the left breast pocket of the jacket?? in the same picture Kevin in Deva
BURGERHAUS Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Good observation Kevin. They could be both pinback versions or one pinback and one cap device. The only way to know I guess is if there is a collector out there who is holding an original cap with badge attached. I also now realize and appreciate more my well-used HJ knife. Everybody always seems to prefer the minty examples but see how they were used. That will put some wear on them. Robert
--dj--Joe Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Robert, fantastic photos, my thanks for showing them. The knife tossing photo is a stand out along with the bicycle touring photos.Thanks again, --dj--JoeBurgerhaus, it is my understanding that the cap badges came in pin back as you show and also the "safety pin" attachment style. Kevin in Deva, the "safety pin" attachment style membership badge is probably what we see worn on the chest.--dj--Joe
hunyadi Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Great grouping of photos - last year I bought my first "supposed" HJ winter tunic. Has the red chords for a combat unit, loops for a flak badge, volkstrumm arm band and the residue for a patch in about the same location as the one in the photo. Several people looked at it and said it was original. I wish I had a photo of it but alas its in storage.... Anyhow - see the borrowed photo below to see what I am talking about.
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Many of the fotos look to be of proffesional quality.What a super set of albums !!!
