Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This HJ Armband looks to have been worn but remains in very fine condition. It has some light staining, and some of the edge stitching has pulled, but is otherwise solid. The black fabric appears to have had some color bleed due to moisture exposure. The band is red with a white center stripe, with the usual applied HJ diamond with a sewn on swas. Later models would have an embroidered swas, but this one is made of two fabric strps. A very nice HJ Armband, especially if you like examples that have the battle-hardened look provided of a bit of period wear. Overall condition is very good. Measures approximately 14 1/2 " x 4".
The HJ or jugend, and often abbreviated as HJ in German, was the youth organization of the NSDAP Party in Germany. Its origins dated back to 1922 and it received the name AH-Jugend, Bund deutscher Arbeiterjugend ("HJ, League of German Worker Youth") in July 1926. From 1933 until 1945, it was the sole official youth organization in Germany and was partially a paramilitary organization; it was composed of the HJ proper for male youths aged 14 to 18, the German Youngsters in the HJ (Deutsches Jungvolk in der AH Jugend or "DJ", also "DJV") for younger boys aged 10 to 14, and the League of German Girls (Bund Deutsche Mädel or "BDM").
