    At this moment there are only few recommendable books written about HJ uniforms - inclusive Marine HJ - these books are:

    - The Hitler Youth - by David Littlejohn (assisted by Harry Hinds), 1988, Agincourt Publishers

    - H.J. (Vol. 1 & 2) - by J.R. Angolia, 1991, R.J.Bender

    - Handbook of the Hitler Jugend - by Wilhelm P.B.R. Saris (etc.), 2009, R.J.Bender

    All of these mention the cap tallies of the marine Hitler Jugend, and the development of the HJ Naval caps.

    I would advice students of this matter to get hold of these books to get a better view on the matter.

    Why is this not the proper forum Chip?

    Hello,

    I just meant that this is the imperial German forum and you might get better results posting your thread on the TR uniform forum.

    Some more HJ tallies.

     

    Interesting to note that the Matrosenobergefreiter (1st photo) is also wearing the Gold Party Badge, another proof that a long running party membership did not include a high rank in the Wehrmacht.

     

    In 1938 the tekst on the tallies was changed from Latin letters to "Gothic" script.

    Nice one Morten, it it a badge on his left upperarm (this should be the position for the triangle, indicating the area) or just a smudge on the photo?

    Hi Odulf!

    Triangle has just wrinkled up.

    These are fine examples of the typical light blue HJ tally.

    What is the exact colour of the letters (white, light grey, yellow)?

     

    Hi Odulf,

     

    both are white.

     

    Regards
