HJ Bann numbers with B prefix - complete list

[Garry M.]

Prompted by a thread in the flags sub-forum I thought I'd pass on a little of my current project to those of you with any HJ items that display the strange-looking B prefix before the Bann number. The numbers will enable you to identify flags and shoulder boards which were in use up to the end of 1935. At this point the B prefix was removed and these Banne re-numbered. I compiled the list from records at the Bundesarchiv Berlin so you can definitely trust it

I hope that the list is of some use to you HJ people.

It is also interesting to notice that on 31 May 1934 :

-Bann B25 (Werdenfels) was renamed Bann 325 (Landsberg) and
-Bann B26 (Landsberg) was renamed Bann 326 (Werdenfels) ...?

Yes that's correct I should have been more specific but what I meant was that all of the Banne on the list had lost the 'B' prefix by the end of 1935.

Hj Gebiet 22 Österreich was included in the first major reorganisation of the HJ on the 1st of July 1933 but just 18 days later fell victim to the political upheaval in Austria. Overnight the HJ in Austria ceased to be able to function legally and the period of underground activity began which was to last until the Anschluss. The RJF removed HJ Gebiet 22 Österreich from its structure in June 1934 and it was reassigned in 1935 as Gebiet 22 Bayerische Ostmark. The HJ in Austria continued to grow during the years leading up to the Anschluss with its leaders working from Munich and so the following list shows the HJ-Banne in Austria prior to their removal from the official RJF structure list.
