    HJ boy?

    Hello,

    Today I received a nice negative of a World War Two soldier/boy.
    It looks to me like he is a Hitlerjugend member but I am not sure because of this his large cap eagle.
    He is wearing the SA-Sportabzeichen and the Hitlerjugend Leistungsabzeichen. But it looks like he is wearing two of them, could someone explain how this could be possible?
    Also, I received the original paper where the negative was kept in, and a name of the guy is written on top of it.
    Is there someone who can read his name?

    With kind regards,

    Koen.

    The photo.

      HI.
      your right, its a HJ. boy, in vinteruniform, i think hes just posing with all hes medals, hes wearing a hj. skicap, the eagle could be added, somtimes thay did that to look more like soldiers.

        very nice portrait actually. It is interesting to see he's wearing 2 proficiency badges, a SA sport badge and possibly a NSDAP badge? I think he pimped his uniform a bit too much

          Do you mean he "Pimpfed" his uniform too much?

              Thank you all very much for your replies!
              Furthermore, I do not know if I could be correct, but does he wear a cufftitle?

              With kind regards,

              Koen.

                        looking at the detail you're absolutely right: there is a cufftitle. Well spotted!
