Identifying BDM Hitlerjugend unit

[Gregorio Torres]

Thank you Pascal, but... is it a problem of my patch or is a common problem in NSBO flags?
I´m saying: is my flag comlete or anything is missing in the patch?

[Pascal Bernhard]

I don't think so, but I've not enought knowledge in NSBO flags for answer, sorry

Sorry to bump this old thread but those are very nice pennants after all Just wanted to say that that the 767 pennant is for Diekirch. The SHAEF list shows this one as Dickisch and I can only imagine that the compiler took that one over the phone and just wrote what he heard Diekirch was one of the the Banne created on the 1st of June 1941 within Gebiet 12 Moselland to incorporate the Luxembourg HJ into the RJF structure.

Thats right, but on my period list... its spelled "Dickisch", but...difficult to read it's gothic and small written.

Why the unfriendly tone? I just wanted to make sure that someone who finds this thread on a search would be getting the correct name for that Bann...

Did you cross-reference the illegible entry on your period list with the SHAEF list? That's the only period list I'm aware of that spells the Bann name as 'Dickisch'. I'd advise caution with the SHAEF list. It is misleading in that it appears at face value to be a complete list for 1944 where actually it was compiled using references from different periods and therefore cannot be viewed as anything more than an aid to further research. It is useful but contains many errors.

Sorry if my answer seems unfrendly, was absolutely not what I wanted .

The list is printed in a french book, but there is a copyright on the list (don't know if the author has the right to do that on a period list, but of course if nobody before thought of putting a copyright, why not...)

Diekirch, Luxenbourg is more logical, was only to note how it is spelled on this list and you surely right with 767 = Diekirch .

[Garry M.]

Ah, I know the list you mean. French list dated 1994? If so then yes, the spelling is definitely 'Dickisch' as you say. Very strange but then again, there are other official RJF publications which list some Banne twice or list two different Banne under the same Bann number so it's probably just down to human error. The list I have showing Diekirch incidentally is one produced by the RJF in Jan 1942 which luckily was not printed with that gothic font
