Here are some lads with a glider. Not sure what the type of glider is or how long before the war this photo was taken. Perhaps the photo was taken at the start of the war, I'm not sure. Can anyone identify the glider and what branch of service the adult men are in?

Hi,
I would say they are NSFK. See here http://www.danielsww2.com/page3.html

Hi Larry,

So you think these were NSKK men and not HJ or could it be a mixed group?

The men standing are NSFK. The rest look to be HJ. Nice photo of the NSFK beret, quite rare.

BDM girl

IMO the pic of the BDM girl, the buttons on her jacket are not the standard issue kettle jacket type.

Hi,
Stug III, I believe the case being carried is the hard-case for protecting the accordion while it is not being played!

Best wishes,

John.

Hi Henrik,

Thanks for the link. So the boy in the photo, was a member of the Austrian HJ. In the other thread, it seems like the leaders were the ones ordered to wear it. Did I read that correctly? The boy in my photo seems a bit young to be in the HJ, do you think he was still in the DJ at the time the photo was taken?

HJ and little sister

Here's an HJ member and his little sister. He appears to have a signal patch on his sleeve below the unit patch. Can anyone read that triangular patch?
