Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Nazi propaganda photo of members and leaders of the Hitlerjugend (Hitler-Jugend, HJ, the Hitler Youth), the youth organization of the Nazi Party (NSDAP), taken at the main offices in Berlin between 1933 to 1936.
  • 'From the Hitler Youth headquarters in Berlin.' (Danish: Fra Hitlerjugends hovedkvarter i Berlin.)
  • The image is one of likely several in a series of propagandistic press photographs showing Hitler Youths posing in various activities, probably at the Haus der Reichsjugendführung in Kaufhaus Jonass, a store and office building that was "aryanized" by the Nazis.
  • The paramilitary 'brownshirt' (khaki) uniforms suggest that the photo was taken in the period from 1933 to 1936. This type of uniform was introduced in 1933, but by 1937, black visors and a new eagle-and-swastika emblem on the caps had become common.
  • Details seen in the photograph:
    • Wall chart of The Reichs-Jugend-Führung ('Reich Youth Leadership')
    • Pharus-Plan Neuen Gross-Berlin map on the table, with area boundaries marked by small standing frames
    • Colour plates of HJ uniforms (by Herbert Knötel) and flags published circa 1933-1934; etc.
    • Hitler Youth cloth armband (Hakenkreuzarmbinde) in red overlaid by a white diamond (rhombus) bearing a black mobile Nazi swastika, with a white band on the inside.
    • The insignia on the shoulder straps can indicate Kameradschaftsführer (one pip) Scharführer (two pips) and Gefolgschaftsführer (three pips) according to the rank system of 1933-1935. Additionally, colored lanyards were employed as an indication of both grade and function. See Wikipedia about Hitler Youth ranks and uniforms.
    • On the upper left sleeve, there is a triangular patch (district sleeve triangle, Gebietsdreieck, Obergauarmdreieck, introduced January 1st 1933), with the inscription 'Ost-Berlin.'
    • The circular wheel badge on lower left sleeve indicates membership in Motor-HJ
    • Hitler Youth 1932 Rally Badge (Potsdam-Abzeichen der NSDAP, 1. Reichs-Jugendtag abzeichen)
Date 1933–1936
