HJ Leader Uniform Question

[DougO]

I am trying to do some due diligence on a HJ Leader tunic. If the tunic has boards with the number 631 on them, what triangle should be on the shoulder? Did the designation of these numbers and sleeve diamond locals change over time?
Thanks in advance, Doug

631 shows to be Reichenberg in the sudetenland
So the Ost Sudetenland triangle is the right one.

Yes, Bann 631 Reichenberg Gebiet 35 Sudetenland. It was one of the new HJ Banne raised after Gebiet 35 Sudetenland came into being on the 1st of October 1938. The Bann flags for these new units were dedicated by von Schirach in the Garnisonskirche Potsdam on the 24th of Jan 1939.

Just for reference there is a useful list here which will give you the correct triangle for straps:

Hi Doug, Bann 631/Sudetenland is a correct match. I have a young fellow from that same group.

Thanks guys. That's good news. I just picked up a tunic at Kassel and it looks like the numbers and triangle are right. I post some pics this weekend.
